Larenz Tate Quotes

• What I look for in a script is the plot point and whether they’re strong, obviously, or not, whether the characters are rich or not, and if I can do justice to the character or not. Some movies you look at and the script is so bad that no one can do anything with the script. I mean, that’s probably why Denzel Washington turns down so much. It’s like why go through all of the ups and downs of trying to have a phenomenal performance when the movie is just bad all around?
• It’s interesting, because I’ve never seen myself as a sex symbol. It’s actually kind of cool that women have taken to me. Because now I have a whole different demographic when it comes to the audiences. I have women who come out and support my movies and that is a huge demographic for me, which is great because some actors don’t have a female base at all.
