A lot of the cats I grew up with in the South Bronx found themselves in sticky situations.

I used to do puppet theatre and also mime and musical theatre in Florida for competitions and festivals, which was great. I was very much involved in theatre when I was in college.

My mother was pretty much on my case all the time.

I've reduced a lot of the stress in my life. I've gotten rid of a lot of things. The light was turned on and a lot of the cockroaches started spinning. I swept them out the door. And sometimes you just have to throw things out because they carry a certain energy.

I don't see myself as extremely handsome. I just figure I can charm you into liking me.

I grew up in the Bronx. The Bronx teaches you to survive. It's like, 'Bring it on!'

I have a whole other side that has yet to be seen on screen.
