Typically, I'm very happy-go-lucky.

I didn't want to come to L.A. without a plan. I was already dealing with my own indecision in Atlanta, so I didn't want to pick up and relocate and do the same thing in a different area.

I want to see more sci-fi with black people.

I want to do more roles that require a large level of preparation and that are completely different from who I am.

I hadn't seen 'The Purge' until I was trying to do the research for it. But it was my friends and my cousins, in particular, who came to me not too long before the audition process and asked me if I had seen it. They were talking about how great it was. I was engaged in the opportunity to do the film because of their intrigue with the franchise.

I'm not interested in people being interested in me.

I just want to continue to do polar opposite type of work. I just want to continue to do things that are unexpected and dynamic, with good stories behind them.

I get what it feels like to watch some of your peers pass you in a field that you're in.

Before I was acting, I was extremely athletic and for a lot of time in my life, I didn't know how to deal with the energy that I had to move and use my body in ways.

I don't think I'll ever get to a place where I'm super kumbaya coming into an audition room.
