If you're in love and there's that chemistry, that's what it's all about.

When you're on a set it can be very tedious and slow. It's just not as big as when you see it on film.

People may know me from films, but theater is my first love. I did about 35 plays before I even landed my first screen role. I'm very comfortable on stage, and theater is not something you can just wing.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

When you have a play, you have to be on every night.

And then there was moments with white guy where like we would be in Harlem. There would be five brothers in the corner, and this is an awful feeling but you're holding his hand and you want to pull your hand away cause you don't want the judgment. And you're gonna get the judgment even if it's just in looks. And the black men are the worst when it comes to judging.

I look forward to going to work. Everybody is at the top of their game. It was like we just got to play.
