Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.
It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at.
Growing up I didn't watch movies.
I wasn't allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
