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

I grew up in East Flatbush in Brooklyn which was an intense neighbourhood filled with different West Indian cultures.

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

I know plenty of adults who act like teenagers.

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

The most successful people reach the top not because they are free of limitations, but because they act in spite of their limitations
