- People don’t want to pay eight or nine dollars to go see a problem that they have in their life, on screen. They pay to get away from that. That’s why they watch soap operas.
- I’ve been writing since I was a kid. Short stories, poetry, and all of that, and acting is just an extension of that. It just came naturally. So it’s coming full circle.
- [1999, in an interview in “Newsday”] I’m going to be the first black President of the United States. If [Ronald Reagan can do it, I know I can.
