There are a lot of times that if a detail in a scene or a beat, feels unnatural, they'll allow me to explore another direction to go until we're all comfortable with what we are doing.

Whenever I didn't have a job, I studied acting, I sent out tapes, went on auditions.

I feel like I have a lot of dedication to the acting profession.

I grew up in a pretty small town in Texas, population 8,000, and we had a lot of open spaces.

I want to relax and spend time with my family.

When I was a child, my parents took my brothers and me to Port-au-Prince during the summer so we could get to know the country of our ancestors. Because Haiti is an island, the beach is everywhere. Haitians are particular, even snobby, about beaches.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

I date African-American women. That's all I date. In my family, it was never discussed - but I love black women. Nothing beats a sister. However, when you see a female like Jennifer Lopez, you have to acknowledge that there are many beautiful Latino women as well.
