I admire Brad Pitt, honestly, just because of how he started and the obstacles he had to overcome to have the career that he's had.

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.

Well, you can't compete with a six foot five man in a wig.

You know, I dont play the race card a lot. Im half-black, half-white, and Im proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didnt raise me as a black man. She didnt raise me as a white guy.

It was truly a lesson in don't take something at face value. You know, so many of us do in life. Whether it's because of how somebody looks or because of what they're wearing or what have you, you kind of assess a person in the first five minutes before they even speak.

For me to bring a character to life, you've got to be able to find your own truth.

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.
