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.

The arts saved my life.

My job is to bring to life the character, not to put the words on the paper.

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

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

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.

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