I had a grandmother who would always encourage me to learn about theater and film.

For my lifestyle, I believe in living 10 times below my means. As a result of that, I have the luxury of working only when I'm inspired.

I always try to get as personal as I can with the characters that I play, which is a reason why I don't play a lot of characters.

I haven't really been auditioning. For me is about finding quality work versus finding work. I get a considerable amount of offers everyday.

I do not have a daily routine, but each morning, I try to spend an hour in bed, visualizing positive outcomes for my life, health, and career.

I don't drive an Escalade; I've never lived on a mansion; I live in a townhouse. Even with my internet business, when I was making just shy of a million and a half a year, I lived in the same house.

It will be difficult if people can't get past their prejudices; I don't mean Black and White; I mean people automatically assume because a film has a predominantly Black cast, that it is a particular quality of film.
