When I perform on stage, you have to remember my performance or buy another ticket to the party! In television and film, you can see it over and over again.

I never like to refer back to anything I've done when I'm working on a character, even if that character has the same occupation.

After 'Breaking Bad,' people are very frightened of who I am. They back away from me on the street.

When you're speaking Spanish, you're thinking in a different way.

I was all-state in four sports in New Jersey, but sometimes I couldn't get served at a restaurant two blocks from my high school. There were no job opportunities then... the only thing a black youth could aspire to be was a bellboy or a pullman or an elevator operator, or, maybe, a teacher. There was a time when all we had was black baseball.

The love and passion I had for the game was my key. I never had that taken out of me by my parents or a silly coach.

I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things.

I didn't play football in school, but I've been a fan of football all my life. I have a fair understanding of it. Doing movies about it really helps because you know what makes them work and what doesn't.
