I come to work on time. I focus on my job. I bust my scenes out and everything else kind of happens from there.

I'm looking for diversity, all my characters may or may not be on the wrong side of the tracks. It doesn't mean that they're all the same.

As we say in the hood, I'm a stoop kid.

The streets would have chewed me up and spit me out and I knew that, but I found my own ways and different knacks for getting in trouble and being reckless with my life. And I've overcome a lot of personal demons and to be alive is really my greatest achievement.

Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.

I came out the womb dancing.

My main goal, starting out as a young actor, was to carry the reins that Pac left off and to reach the depths as an actor that I know he would have reached had he still been here with us.
