I made my way on to a grey list, a black list even. That's something I'm very proud of, actually.

I'm the blackest villain of all time.

The less I talk about being black, the better.

I do consider myself part of black history.

I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.

I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.

I was neither black enough for the black kids or Dominican enough for the Dominican kids. I didn't have a safe category.

I'm not a predictable black liberal.

To my knowledge, there is no blacklist. But there is a mindset, even among liberal producers, that says 'He may be difficult, so let's avoid him.'

I am viewed as the Negro who has gone outside of the categories assigned to me.
