A lot of my best parts I've been the second choice for, so you never get too egotistical about anything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've had my taste of intense fame, and I've got it out of my system. Now I'm free to choose parts which fulfil me in different ways.
I don't think I'm egotistical, and I know what my limits are: I'm a black guy who's probably losing his hair. But I'm happy to play roles that I'm given, and I'm happy to play roles that I write.
I get egotistical about things where I can do something well - for example, my singing. Most other things, I don't have the wherewithal to back it up.
I'm not exactly in a position where I get to be super-picky about the roles I get. But I would also never want to be a part of something that I think is poor in taste or doesn't align with what I believe in.
The parts I've been most successful in are the ones I've desperately, desperately wanted.
I don't have much of an ego, but I have a great deal of confidence!
Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right.
There's certainly the ego-based me that is very competitive.
I don't have an ego; I'm not egotistical or anything like that.
I don't care what other people think any more about me writing my own parts.
