goal trying
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential.
air different balls
The surgeries were the hardest scenes for me because it's literally balancing so many balls in the air, at the same time, and each surgery is different.
morning home hair
You turn up in the morning, you get through hair and make-up, and then you are on set working until it's time to go home. And I love that. Coming from the theater, you just turn up and you're ready for whatever happens. That energy really appeals to me.
artist people want
I definitely want to work with people who are artists and who are interested in being their best version of themselves.
dream people roles
People sometimes say, "What is your dream role?" I don't really have a dream role. I'll know it when I see it.
reading people levels
Things maybe take longer usually when it comes to TV - especially network TV. There are usually multiple levels that you have to go through in terms of the casting director, the producers, the studio, the network, reading with other people.
I think that's what makes characters interesting - when you paint a person into a corner, and you see what they do to get out of that corner. It's what makes drama drama.
man
I think that a man should not be shy; you should say what you really think and feel - put it out there.
It's not every day you get to be in a movie about Jackie Robinson, so you want to do it as right as you can.
america applies difficult finding music number people push ways
Frankly, I think that's something that black people in America have often done - finding ways under very, very difficult circumstances to be subversive, but also to push things forward. And I think that applies to music. I think it applies to dance. I think it applies to a number of things.
best means ounce people
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential. For me, that means working with the best people and working with the best material.
Never lived in L.A. I've always done the New York thing.
I started out doing a lot of theater, a lot of Shakespeare, classic plays.
