I have my own personal wish list.

Michael Scofield is someone everyone can relate to, but nobody would want to be in his shoes.

If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I'd be waiting for a very, very long time.

The beautiful thing about having grown up in Brooklyn is, because of the rich cultural and racial diversity there, no one seemed to give too much thought to where I fit on the racial spectrum. But there were times when I would run up against someone who was interested in figuring out what race was. That would come as a surprise, and in some cases, like a slap in the face.

I'm pretty much a couch potato.

You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.

Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself.
