I always wanted to be a fireman, a cop, an Indian chief, a doctor, a lawyer. I always wanted to be all these things, so I am drawn to these kinds of characters.

Race seems to me to be less and less a subject worth discussing.

I don't remember what my favourite comedy film is - truthfully! I saw Borat and I thought I was not going to be able to get out of the theatre because I was in so much pain from the laughter.

I can only be so long without work before I start getting antsy.

As long as you feel like a victim, you are one.

I don't know what my favorite film of mine is... But I think the most important film I was in was Glory.

All my life, all my life that I can, as far back as I can remember, I saw my first movie when I was six years old. And since then I wanted to do that. I wanted to be a part of that.
