All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

There are times I can't even figure myself out.

Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.

I have the time needed to support the album and tour.

To be the best, I had to work harder than everyone else.

I've come to accept that the life of a frontrunner is a hard one, that he will suffer more injuries than most men and that many of these injuries will not be accidental.

I'm always surprised that I get called to work. I always feel the way I felt when I was 24 or 25 trying to get a job. I'm amazed I have my SAG card and my Equity card.

For me, I had to overcome shyness to be an actor. But as a director, you lose your subjectivity, your self-consciousness. And instead of just your role, it's the life of the whole play that becomes a reflection of you.
