One of my biggest lessons in life is, we heal at the speed of our forgiveness.
I'm taking the indie filmmaker's approach to building my career and that approach is developing a relationship with the fans.
The only difference between comedy and drama is that, in comedy, I'm going to utilize the tool of creating laughter to deflect discomfort and, in drama, I won't use a tool, but we're going to actually deal with the discomfort and see what comes out of it.
I feel comfortable working with people who are secure in themselves and confident in what they do.
I'd like to change the depictions of life, love, and adventure under what's known as the typical, overused backdrop of Hollywood.
I come from the best era of film I believe; when people were taking chances on films. It's time for us to bring more truth to the story and not necessarily carry a torch for every Black person in America; just tell a story, and a good one too.
I don't drive an Escalade; I've never lived on a mansion; I live in a townhouse. Even with my internet business, when I was making just shy of a million and a half a year, I lived in the same house.
I haven't really been auditioning. For me is about finding quality work versus finding work. I get a considerable amount of offers everyday.
It's extremely difficult to come across quality material. It's a competitive world.
It will be difficult if people can't get past their prejudices; I don't mean Black and White; I mean people automatically assume because a film has a predominantly Black cast, that it is a particular quality of film.
I don't want every fan; I'm interested in fans interested in quality work, authentic archetype depictions.
For me, comedy and drama are all the same thing. How the comedy ever even started in my life was that moments got uncomfortable and I felt uncertain of what the outcome was going to be, so I found a way to deflect what I was feeling, or what everyone else was feeling, by creating laughter.
I always try to get as personal as I can with the characters that I play, which is a reason why I don't play a lot of characters.
My goal in life is to bring to the screen really believable depictions that make you think, "Damn, I have to look within myself."
