I believe that we have to be so race-conscious in this day and age.

My daughter has a vivid imagination, and so does my son.

I did everything pretty cliche as an actor in New York. I read the trades, I sent out 'head shots.'

One good step breeds another one.

I can be really silly, but I never get to do that. I'm always playing on-the-nose characters, professionals - lawyers, a serious news anchor, people with a really focused energy, which can become a cliched type.

Honestly, working with Eddie Murphy was mind-blowing just in terms of the budget alone. To see the respect he commands, to witness his presence, you understand why he and people like Martin Lawrence are stars.

You have to work hard not to take your partner for granted, even when you are tired.
