A lot of people come to quote-unquote Hollywood thinking that all they just have to be different or do something outlandish or have a huge personality to become a star. But I think that if you just focus on the craft, you'll have a better chance at longevity.

I like to eat sweets. When I go to a restaurant, I'll read the dessert menu before I even look at the entrees.

It's not always about the money.

I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.

Sometimes the stereotypes that a lot of people have are of black men in jail or who don't take care of their kids, so I think it's always important to have that.

I don't really know where the rumors started. They just started. Because I saw a number of people rumored for the role and there was never any discussion, never any conversations. I think Chadwick Boseman is a great actor. I saw Get on Up and he killed that role. So, I think he's going to do a great job.

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