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

The arts saved my life.

My goal is to end mass incarceration and change the laws to stop locking up low-level, nonviolent drug charges. Stop charging drug addicts as criminals.

If you've ever felt oppressed on any level, there's something from 'The Wire' that you can take and identify with.

I understand pain very well, so I look for that in a role. If the characters are well-written, don't tell nobody, but I'll do the damn thing for free. I'm serious. It's the writing. I love beautifully flawed characters.

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

Addiction is a health issue, not a social issue, not a crime, not a legal issue.
