I came out the womb dancing.

I'm good with all my roles, I've never had a bad role.

I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.

My dream role is to portray someone like James Baldwin. I've always been a fan of his writing, and I feel like he's one of our unsung heroes. He's been pretty much forgotten, and I think he needs to be recognized. He had to go all the way to Europe to find recognition and acceptance, and I'd just like to bring him to the forefront.

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.

The Wire' is very realistic and based on real events.

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