| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | I went to Juilliard as a clarinet major and somewhere between the beginning and the end, I stopped playing it. I asked myself who was I reaching … I just fell out of love with it. |
| 2 | I just got lucky with Straight Out of Brooklyn (1991). I just went out on an audition and got the role. Since then, I’ve done some stuff, but it’s hard for African-American actors, period! There just isn’t any material out there for us, and what there is, is the same: profanity, violence, etc. |
