I began my career in Los Angeles and started working fairly quickly.

The only thing I haven't done as an actor, other than Thai puppet theater somewhere, is act on a Broadway stage.

When actors get pigeonholed, that's their own doing to a large degree. Because if you do something that people like, obviously they're going to ask you to do it again. It's up to you to say no. If you're that insecure about working, you'll probably do what you're known to do.

I'd like to be doing quality acting in a quality role and making as many people as possible happy.

I do think that a school day that matches the work day makes a lot of difference for working families, but the big driver of this effort is education. Period. We have a lot of students not gaining the skills they need, and it is pretty clear that school does not offer enough time to get that job done.

We grew up in my family thinking that politics was a really fascinating way to spend one's career and a way to be involved in the issues of the day. And certainly, my father and my relatives really loved all that.

Queen Latifah has been a huge part of my career. She has been a huge, huge part of my career since the very beginning.

When I did get into comic books, it was after a whole other career, and when I got into comic books, they didn't even know who I was.
