Most of the people in New York are very often from somewhere else.

I've done a lot of theater work that has been quite diverse. I feel very fortunate to have had many different people think of me in many different ways. So, as an actor that's all you - all I want is diversity. So far in film and television work I have done has not been as diverse, and I hope it grows to be.

A miracle is something that seems impossible but happens anyway.

I've found in my own life, if you try to struggle against what the universe is telling you, you set yourself up for more of a battle.

Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.

My mom and my dad are ebullient people, and I think I carry that with me.

The next film I have is called Miles Ahead, which is about Miles Davis, during a five-year period in his life during which he's struggling to figure out which direction to go musically and in his life. I play a record executive who's there to try to get Miles to collaborate with one of my clients. I'm excited to see that.
