I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I'm proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I'm happy with what I've done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think in the early part of my career, the roles were so disparate that it never gave anybody an opportunity to understand my essence and what I would be good at doing, as opposed to what I would not be good at doing, so these little moments of beautiful things that were happening to me were consistent, but very few and very far between.
As soon as I became proactive in producing my own stuff, I started getting other roles.
My role now is as an artist and as a mogul to inspire and give others opportunities.
The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.
For me, my role is about unleashing what people already have inside them that is maybe suppressed in most work environments.
I want to play roles that I'm proud of, that I feel a certain integrity about, and I want to continue to be truthful in the work that I do.
Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.
I have carried the burden of being a role model for some time. And that's great. The body of work I've done has afforded me that opportunity.
I've done a handful of great roles.
I'm very proud of my roles. I enjoy the ability to touch millions of people and, in some way, connect with them in ways that I cannot connect with them in my normal, everyday life.
