How are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it!

My parents were working in a hospital in Memphis. But I didn't live there for any length of time that I remember. The first thing I remember is the town in Mississippi that I live in now, Charleston.

I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole.

I'm easy going for the most part but sometimes in the morning if I didn't sleep well I can be kind of grumpy. But my grumpiness doesn't have that much to do with my dissatisfaction with my station in life.

That's your job as the actor, to understand the human part of the character, to make it real.

Part of acting is having the security to turn yourself loose and let yourself go in order to reach whatever depths a character has. If your guts aren't hanging out there, you don't offer anything.

Acting means living, it's all I do.
