I remember the first time I put on the Army uniform. I just felt like a totally different person - I felt proud.

Comedy's my first love. I love that so much. You play comedy in drama, too. The difference between genres doesn't really change the method of acting.

The days of humiliation, of second-class citizens and of inequality are over and gone forever.
