I didn't come to Hollywood to get on magazine covers or start my Porsche collection or to enjoy that kind of lifestyle, to go to the right parties and meet the right people.

I'm hoping that what I am or what I'm not ethnically doesn't limit me in anyone else's eyes. I guarantee you it doesn't in mine.

This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.

One of the traps of auditioning is walking into that room feeling as though you're a guest in someone's house, and being really careful not to spill wine on the carpet. What you have to do is walk in there as though you're the host.

I've been spared to a large extent the business end of the race stick.

I have my own personal wish list.

On Flash, I thought of myself as a spice character; come in, do a little dance, and I go.
