I've Always Been A Sucker

Before I Was An Actor I Was A Break Dancer, One Of Those Street Performers You See. I Guess My Introduction Into The Professional World Of Performing Was A Stint As Back Up Dancer For Lionel Richie And I Performed At The Closing Ceremony At The '84 Olympics.

I Speak To My Agent About Great Roles, And He's Like, 'they Are All Going To Will Smith.

As An Actor You Have To Bring To The Table Your Creative Input. But When A Director Like Ridley Scott Says I Want You To Do This This Way, You Know When He Gets To The Editing Room He Has A Reason For It. Its Like Watching A Masterpiece.

There Are Roles I Want That My Agency Might Not Want Me To Do Because Of The Subject Matter Or Whatever. Or There Are Roles That People Won't Bring To Me Because They Don't Think I'll Do It. And That Is A Big Strain Because An Actor Wants To Act

When I Commit To A Role, I Always Tell Myself That Role Is King. That's The Bible. If I Start To Judge My Character, Than It's Going To Influence My Performance, And I Don't Want That. I Want To Find The Truth In The Character.
