Toward the end of school I started watching movies. Got a job in a movie theater in Brookline, Massachusetts. ↗

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies. ↗

I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that. ↗

I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal, Richard Roundtree, Jim Brown, Pam Grier. For the first time, I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.' ↗

I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them. ↗

I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill. ↗

All movies aren't fun; some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff. ↗

I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance. ↗

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors, on small movies and big movies. ↗
