In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.

I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

I can't wait til I get the chance to be a character and how my face looks isn't the first consideration.

I can still go grocery shopping and not get mobbed. But when I was in South Africa this summer, I had people asking for autographs, and that scared me.

I think I did every drug known to mankind, smoked crack, boozed, dropped acid, you name it.

The dream of my life is to lie down by a slow river and stare at the light in the trees - to learn something by being nothing

Typically, historical black colleges and universities like Delaware State, attracted students who were raised in an environment where going to college wasn't the next natural step after high school.
