But overall, I didn't really face any racial difficulties. Nothing too bad or too lasting.

I wasn't a kid when I came out. Soulja Boy was 16. I'm saying that when he came out he was a kid so it was naturally a show for him. It's not about the music right away. It's a show for him.

But my first play, "Little Murders," turned out to be a great success and a great influence on plays at that time.

To me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration. It's maybe hard to believe, but as a kid I really had a lot of self-doubts.

I was angry and didn't know how to get it out.

When I was a kid, our family used to watch 'Bonanza.' I really liked having a Sunday night TV ritual.
