“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

The job of mayor of London is unbelievably taxing, particularly in the run-up to the Olympics.

In terms of jobs, I’m an actor. There’s gotta’ be depth there. I’d never say yes to something just to play the hot guy. That’s not what I’m interested in.

The [best] coaches… know that the job is to win… know that they must be decisive, that they must phase people through their organizations, and at the same time they are sensitive to the feelings, loyalties, and emotions that people have toward one another.

My mother is very wise and intelligent. If I have children and can do half as good a job as she did in keeping me in line, I’ll be very happy.

The crisis and recession have led to very low interest rates, it is true, but these events have also destroyed jobs, hamstrung economic growth and led to sharp declines in the values of many homes and businesses.

I could finally quit my job as a bartender and stop dreaming that I might be Superman and know that I was. Then I started thinking about how cool it was.

Do you realize that God expects you to consider that you are actually working for Jesus Christ on your job?

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.
