And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film, gain the benefit of my education, and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.

Every little job becomes a dream, and you don't recall it anymore, and maybe you might have a deja vu moment, but it's like something you dreamed earlier.

Every artist has to grow, and has to challenge themselves with a new form of expression.

All the things we have to remember, and I've mentioned this before, is that we're all artists.

I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.

As a black person on the outside, because there's so much black art and so much of black people's work circulating, so many people imitating what black people do, you would think that there'd be more black people on the business side. It didn't cross my mind that every label head, for the most part, is a white guy.

If you look at my career, I kind of got progressively better and better and better. I came closer to the top.

There are so many talented young actors in the industry. I'm just happy to have a job!
