I like to be a peacekeeper, and I just don't believe in stirring up conflict.

The beauty about my career is that none of it was really calculated.

I think I'm like the kid who loved hip hop, and all of a sudden - I don't know what it was - it started to put me in positions to do great things.

It's always interesting to talk to people's moms or sisters or wives. It gives you a different perspective of somebody that everybody already thinks they knew.

My life was filled with family in South Sudan. I am the seventh of nine children, and we grew up in what would be considered a middle-class family. We did not have a lot, but we did have more than a lot of other people.

I grew up on a set and saw my family doing it and thought, 'I can do that too.'

Whenever I hear the narration for a new film, I have this process back home where my mother reads all my scripts.

My family do not think I'm special - not one, one bit.
