That's What's So Satisfying About Acting. You Can Come As Prepared As You Like, But There's No Accounting For What's Going To Come At You From The Other Actor. That's Part Of The Joy And The Play Of It. If You Don't Have That It's A Different Kind Of Performance.

There Are Many, Many Communities, Many Ethnic Minorities, Many Civilizations That Have Been Brutalised By Others And You Have To Move On. You Cannot Perpetually Stay In That Place Of Blame, Otherwise It's Just A Downward Spiral.

Sunday At 11 O'clock Is The Most Segregated Hour In America. You Have Black Churches; You Have White Churches; You Have Hispanic Churches. It's Not Really Reflective Of The World We Live In, By And Large, In America.

I Think That Having A Black President In America Has Been A Seismic Shift, In Terms Of What Has Been Going On Racially In America. I Think That America Is Now Engaging With How We Have Come To This Point.

There's A Nimble Quality To The Way A Television Actor Can Work. When That Muscle Gets Strong It's A Very Valuable Thing.
