“It’s just different discipline, just doing the voice over. I guess I’ve done about 5 or 6 audio books in the past and I do the animated voice for a show called Fatherhood on Nickelodeon.”

Its really a luck of the draw or fate or destiny, whatever you want to call it, but you dont know if youre going to resonate with people or not.

That is the thing I’m most grateful for in this industry to be able to spin in those different mediums, with television, film and the stage – at this stage of the game.

In terms of the black female audience, usually if you’re true to that character but more so in your body of work if you’ve proven that you love your sisters and you proven you will come back home like in 42.4% they’ll give you a pass when you jump ship. I hear it all the time.

Sex in the City was a different kind of phenomenon because of the show itself is a phenomenon and to me that’s successful because to resonate with women across the board for six years and have only one African-American actor pass through for one episode.

It’s about strengthening the relationship and the bond of parent to child.

I get to work and enjoy that part of me, but then I have time to have a life and be with my kids.

It could be a great script but the director is not the right person for me to work for at this time. So there are a lot of elements that come into play and a lot of variables, but more than anything it’s got to be a great script and a great character.

The hope is they would like to bring it to Broadway next year, so we’ll see that’s to come in the end of the finance year and everybody else and also real estate and what theaters are available at the time but I would like to come back with it.

My Soul to Keep is the ultimate love story with a black man and a black woman. I call it the ultimate love story. It’s about an immortal.

The voice over is a hat you put on right now as opposed to worrying about going through wardrobe, and having to look a certain way.

Krush Groove was a movie at the time. That was my first break. I just got to New York. I was right out of college and I was happy to have a job.

It’s something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others.

I love my kids so much. They teach me something every day. It always brings richness to my work, and even more in life. I feel lucky to be able to do both.

Our deal always was that we did one as scripted always, we got it like we thought we needed – so we were all happy with it as written. Then I’d let him play as long as we had time.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

My teaching was animated by what I was reading and being excited by as a poet.

When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant

I love animated movies in general. I like making them.
