team hockey years
I'm an avid hockey fan and I've been playing for about 17 years, and somebody recently told me that the first organized hockey teams in Canada were all black. Telling those stories would be cool.
kings character judging
When I commit to a role, I always tell myself that role is king. That's the Bible. If I start to judge my character, than it's going to influence my performance, and I don't want that. I want to find the truth in the character.
night awards mind
The Academy Awards was an amazing night. I know I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I apologize for that. That night went so fast I can't remember what I said or what happened.
teacher thinking make-you-think
What makes you think that what you know is any different from what I know? I had different teachers.
mom mother positive-thinking
Don't let people disrespect you. My mom says don't open the door to the devil. Surround yourself with positive people.
reality choices
We all create our own reality by the choices we make.
editing creative actors
As an actor you have to bring to the table your creative input. But when a director like Ridley Scott says I want you to do this this way, you know when he gets to the editing room he has a reason for it. Its like watching a masterpiece.
race decision made
I have never made a decision based on race and never will.
country song singers
I love researching, whether it's old Western documentaries or old Western country singers or John Ford Westerns, which are heavily influenced by family values, which so many of these country songs are related to.
thinking secret passionate
I think it's not a big secret that I like to work a lot. I really go out for projects when I find things I'm passionate about.
growing-up children people
I didn't just grow up in one environment, so it was easy for me, as a child, just to imitate and just be all these different people.
laughing serious comedy
Comedy is great; you get to laugh! Life is so serious.
being-yourself doors office
I'm so busy trying to be other people. You start acting just as soon as you walk into the door of that casting office. You can't just be yourself because they don't want to hire you
eight long trying
Directors have been trying to get me to do comedy for a long time, ever since One Eight Seven.
