I certainly don’ think I could’ve played the character [Idi Amin] the same way without being in Uganda. I loved working in Uganda Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I’ve always wanted to do characters that would help me find my connection with others and connect all of us together. You always want the energy of the character, the spirit of the person, to enter you. I’ve been doing this for 26 years and some of the things I’ve done are always with me Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family’s car at the drive-in Picture Quote #1

It is possible for a kid from east Texas, raised in south central LA and Carson, who believes in his dreams, commits himself to them with his heart, to touch them and to have them happen Picture Quote #1

Stereotypes do exist, but we have to walk through them Picture Quote #1

It is important to make the best out of every generation Picture Quote #1

I stay true, because whatever the project is, I’m still looking for inside of that character Picture Quote #1

I like to play complex characters and the duality, and trying to reach for the light, it’s more interesting really. I’ve gotten to play so many types of guys and I just try to find the humanity in each one of them the best I can Picture Quote #1

There’s a thing you confront when you’re going into something new and you come to this sort of abyss, and then you push yourself. It makes you try different things Picture Quote #1

I care about people. In the end, I think they feel it. It comes across, regardless of the character I’m portraying Picture Quote #1

It’s a unique experience when you’re doing an independent film where you have one person who puts up all the funds to make the film Picture Quote #1

I went through two schools of acting but I learned more about acting from meditating and from my marshall arts teacher Picture Quote #1

Until film is just as easily accessible as a pen or pencil, then it’s not completely an art form. In painting you can just pick up a piece of chalk, a stick or whatever. In sculpture you can get a rock. Writing you just need a pencil and paper Picture Quote #1

We have to not just open our eyes to what’s going on in other places; we need to open our eyes to what’s going on right in front of us Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to do characters that would help me find my connection with others and connect all of us together. You always want the energy of the character, the spirit of the person, to enter you Picture Quote #1

The true wealth of a community is measured by how carefully it listens to its women and how sincerely it values their wisdom. Empowering women empowers us all Picture Quote #1

In a lot of films, they’re showing more complete, developed characters of diverse ethnic backgrounds. The larger concern is to be able to tastefully explore the stereotypes, and still move past them to see the core of people Picture Quote #1

I really wasn’t even sure if I should continue acting. I would like try and figure out if I could be good enough to do it. It was like 10 or 12 years into my career before I felt like maybe I can do it. It was such a different time than now Picture Quote #1
