I just want to keep the diversity and the options open. In terms of what I'm looking for, I'd like to do a lead action role.

I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you're the author of your own destiny.

I'm of Nigerian descent, from the Yoruba tribe. Names are very significant in that culture. It basically states your purpose in life.

You don't want it to be a replica or an imitation. You want to create something fresh, original, very unique.

Wale means to arrive home. So the crown has arrived home. Akin is warrior or brave man. Nuoye is a brave man of chieftaincy and Agbaje means wealth and prosperity.

Personally, I love Toronto.

You really have to act your pants off to stay alive. I thrive on that; I rise to the occasion of the circumstances.

When a child wants to be accepted, he'll do anything. And if it means you're getting a certain amount of notoriety from a fight, that's what you'll do.

The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.

As an actor, you really want to resonate with your audience. I played a character on Oz and people still approach me in the streets today.

Also, I'd like to play an athlete again, while I'm still physically fit, or a musician, like Nat King Cole, because I play the trumpet and sing. I'd like to incorporate that into a character.

A life is not a waste of time

People talk and people listen, but very few care enough to help.

The wind at the top of the mountain is always the strongest, but if you do not give up, the journey down will always be easier.

I definitely feel, when I'm wearing the costume, that I could scare people and hurt them.

It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better.

All that happens is as usual and familiar as the rose in spring and the crop in summer.

I believe in the Constitution. The Constitution says that government isn't supposed to be infusing religion into our society, and so I asked to have that upheld.

There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.

I don't think we live in a particularly equal society.

Christianity is a religion in a rush. Look at the world created in seven says. Even on a symbolic lovel, that's creation in frenzy.
