If someone had said to me ten years ago "Yo, we have this role of this pimp who wants to be a rapper, he lives in Memphis", I'd be like, "Really?" But then when you read it and you see it, you say "That's a great role."

To me the work is so much more interesting, the parts that don't require you just to take your shirt off.

Some people make a career out of doing one thing, but I wanted to diversify my body of work.

I want viewers to relate to me on a different level, not just a sexual level.

Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.

I enjoy what I do, but it's more challenging than people think.

When people are courting, many of them think that when they get married, that's it, and everything will be on Easy Street. But you really have to work even harder once you're married, because the challenges are that much greater.
