There's a lot of Kenya that's not like me. I like Birkenstocks, granola, my dog Pops.

People make jokes about how black people are the first ones to be killed off.

I love going to the movies and getting Raisinets, a big tub of popcorn and a Coke. That's definitely a guilty pleasure because I can't be doing that all the time.

You can never be happy when you're constantly comparing yourself to others. Keep your eyes ahead.

If someone has already done a role I'm about to do, I won't watch the original until after I'm finished playing the role.

I don't know if it's more acceptable or if black men are more comfortable. Black men certainly are more comfortable with it. I don't know that society, like white society loves it or black women. When you see a black man with a white woman there is a feeling that you have and I think the feeling is an instinctual feeling of you want her you don't want me. I don't look anything like her, so you don't like. You know what I mean? Something like that. It's a real instinctual primal thing.

In this day and age, especially with all the media and television, social media, and the Internet, we are constantly being compared and comparing ourselves to others' lives and journeys. Keep your eyes on your own road.
