I like to make money, I like to have nice things. But I love to act, I love to tell stories.

Now that I've established myself in a drama, I'm plugging away, trying to get the attention of people who do the independent movies and the features.

There's a thing called game, and when you're out and you're trying to push up on a female and you're going, "Yo, I want to be your knight in shining armor," chances are you're going to get a drink on your face.

I say I’m not shy, but… Acting is a very vulnerable experience, and you’ve got to be really confident to put yourself out there to be judged.

I look at leading men because that's ultimately what I'm aspiring to do. But I also look at character actors and people that I'm just in awe by, just because I can relate to it.

Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.

We never get enough of falling in love and believing in love.
