First of all, God inspires me, where he's brought me, it blows my mind. To know that He brought me this far, it could not have been an accident, to go forward, I'm excited to leap into the void, I'm excited about tomorrow, the unknown, excited to see what else He has for me.
I've learned that I can't do it all at once. So, you have to figure out your angle of attack. Coming in on the acting front, acting is a passion of mine. It's a true love. Dancing, I kind of just fell into. Choreographing, the same thing. But making films, producing and directing, that's the heartbeat of my existence.
With films, you completely immerse yourself in a character, get into who they are, live it and then release it.
Everybody who knows me is like, 'Dude, you've got to chill out.' I can't not work, given where I want to be.
I think showing heroes as fallible helps us and reminds us that we are ourselves fallible and no man is perfect but we can still achieve great things.
I want to play Martin Luther King. That is absolutely a role and a character who is important to the landscape of the world that I really want to play.
You've got to be honest with yourself aesthetically about who could you play. You want to artistically be true to that character.
