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
character playlists
All my characters have playlists.
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.
president attention united-states
Doing something that warrants the attention of the President of the United States is super cool.
character goal crafts
My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.
revenge self mind
Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.
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.
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.
jobs focus kind
I come to work on time. I focus on my job. I bust my scenes out and everything else kind of happens from there.
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.
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.
kids
I got picked on a lot as a kid.
east culture brooklyn
I grew up in East Flatbush in Brooklyn which was an intense neighbourhood filled with different West Indian cultures.
mind roles problem
I haven't had a problem with being typecast, but if I was only getting one type of role, I wouldn't mind. What I'm worried about is not working.
