nuts want honey
I do happen to love Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't know if I want to walk down to the store in my pajamas for them. But I do love them.
fighting past people
Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love. I am proud to join the ACLU in the fight to make mass incarceration a thing of the past.
revenge self mind
Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.
president attention united-states
Doing something that warrants the attention of the President of the United States is super cool.
teenager adults plenty
I know plenty of adults who act like teenagers.
goal actors starting-out
My main goal, starting out as a young actor, was to carry the reins that Pac left off and to reach the depths as an actor that I know he would have reached had he still been here with us.
dying cajuns culture
Cajun culture is dying.
choices brushes bad-choices
Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.
achievement different knack
The streets would have chewed me up and spit me out and I knew that, but I found my own ways and different knacks for getting in trouble and being reckless with my life. And I've overcome a lot of personal demons and to be alive is really my greatest achievement.
dancing womb
I came out the womb dancing.
successful people spite
The most successful people reach the top not because they are free of limitations, but because they act in spite of their limitations
thug should-have long
I am the epitome of the underdog. By societies standards I should have been dead a long time ago, and I was nobody's gangster, I wasn't a thug, I wasn't selling drugs on the corner - I was scared of that.
sex children fall
Writers will see your work and want to try you in different things but I think you have to stay true to your vehicle. We all have a vehicle. Whether it's a thug, or a school child or the babyface or the sex siren or the video vin, whatever it is ride that until the wheels fall off and eventually, if you build your foundation then you can branch off.
writing character healthy
I have a very healthy appetite for good writing and good characters. Having weak writing is my biggest fear.
