I wouldn't say I'm a method actor. I do research when I feel I don't have enough experience for the part I'm playing.

I'm not gangly; I'm very coordinated. I do have a bit of a baby face. But I guess that just means I'll be working longer.

I mean, what are they scared of? Who's going to vote for anyone from the Communist Party, for God's sake?

I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But acting was the most fun.

There's nothing more boring than unintelligent actors, because all they have to talk about is themselves and acting. There have to be other things.

I don't think people have been able to deal with the fact that African American filmmakers can make movies about life and relationships.

I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.
