Every time I was off school, I was in Carolina with my cousins. So it was a big influence on me. I actually experienced straight-up racism out there, too.
A Ryan Coogler film? I'm there for it.
I got introduced to Shakespeare at four years old, and I fell in love with the language.
I can only control what I can, which is what I'm able to do as an artist.
Make America great - to me... it's inclusion. Everybody in America, let's do it together, no matter what color you are. You're American. Let's figure it out.
I've loved acting since I can remember.
I've failed a lot, you know, in football, and I've gone on a lot of auditions, been told no, been told I'm not right, so I know what failure feels like. It's about the work.
Hate has a language, so we have to find a language to combat that.
In football, I learned about trust, handling failure, embracing discomfort, and rejection, which has helped with the auditions.
I've met Caucasians who are racist, but I've also heard black people say racist things.
Being able to tell people's stories - this is the most exciting job in the world to me.
