Doing something that warrants the attention of the President of the United States is super-cool.

My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.

Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.

I am a dark-skinned, nappy-headed, scar-faced dude from the streets of Brooklyn. I can't hide from being who I am. It's all over my face.

My goal as an actor, as an up-and-coming actor in this business is to stay consistent with the work, you know, and if you do good work, and stay focused on the work, writers and directors will pay attention.

I have a very healthy appetite for good writing and good characters. Having weak writing is my biggest fear.

I know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.
