We're Conditioned In This Country To Believe That If There's A Problem, The Black Man Is Usually The Culprit.

I've Reduced A Lot Of The Stress In My Life. I've Gotten Rid Of A Lot Of Things. The Light Was Turned On And A Lot Of The Cockroaches Started Spinning. I Swept Them Out The Door. And Sometimes You Just Have To Throw Things Out Because They Carry A Certain Energy.

I've Been A Law-abiding Citizen Ever Since I Grew Up In The Bronx, New York.

I Think The Key That Differentiates The Good Actors From The Mediocre Ones That Are Still Trying To Come Up, Is That The Good Ones Know How To Listen. It's Like Being In A Jazz Band. They Know How To Listen To What The Other Musicians Are Playing. And Where To Come In And Where To Sit Out. That's My Approach To Being In An Ensemble Cast And Working With Any Kind Of Actors In A Scene.

I Watch A Lot Of Different Films. A Lot Of Different Performances And I Find A Lot Of Little Things From The Films Or Things That Actors Do Or People In Real Life Who Have Behaviors Or Idiosyncrasies That I Like Or Find Interesting And I Try To Remember That. And Then I'll Do A Prayer. I'll Do A Prayer To Ask The Character Or The Spirit Of The Character To Come And Visit Me. And Let's Work Together.
