The awkward thing is the people in the room besides us. It's not us. It's just the 20 or 30 people that are around on set, who normally wouldn't be on set. That's always interesting.

In real life, people end up doing things because it's convenient and it works for them. You don't get up every day regretting what you're doing.

When you're casting, you get a page or two - just enough to do the scene. Now that you're in the world, you get the whole script.

When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place. A lot of them are from the south, so they bring those southern influences with them.

I'm pretty relaxed on what people should be able to do as long as they're not hurting anybody else.
