I love anything that really pushes the envelope as far as where it takes your mind. When it's well written and brings you into a world that possibly could be, I think that's the most entertaining for me - to see something that could actually take place and causes you to think.

Toronto is like a smaller, safe New York.

In the early '80s, it was hard to find celebrities you can identify with if you lived in the hood. There weren't any rap videos at the time.

When you become an actor, at some point you look for something that brings you back to your roots. You find something that people around your neighborhood can relate to. People that you're close with can relate to.

I'm from Harlem, born and raised there.

It's nice to always have been able to remain consistent. I'm very thankful for that and to work on shows that I can be proud of, and films.

I definitely applaud Netflix and all of those guys, whether it's Hulu or whoever, for doing original programming.

I want to see my family prosper, see my kids grow old.

When I did 'Clockers,' I didn't even think about having a career in acting, I just thought, 'Wow, this is cool. I get to do a little movie.'

I loved the extended version of 'Aliens' because it shows just a little bit more that you don't see and what they always show on television.
