I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I'm very fond of being in this movie.

I would never be in a film just for the sake of being in a film, so I am waiting for the right role to come along.

Every now and then you get a nice Jewish kid who likes black people and they would come in, and it would be a stream of them, and have black friends and really feel the black struggle on the acting tip and it's a reason why all of us are not dying in the movie.

As an ambiguously non-white actor, I've been able to play light-skinned African American guys, Latinos, and I don't think that I've ever had to play some kind of ethnic stereotype or something that was typed specifically for a person of color.

When you're black in Hollywood, you know, your first role is going to be on a crime drama. That's - everybody knows that.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.

I haven't even watched that many movies; I'm, like, a weird actor.

Film is such a bizarre vehicle for acting. It's such a bizarre experience. I don't think you ever really get familiar with it. If you do get familiar with it, you're probably not that good anymore.
