It's a different animal. The action movie requires much more physical dedication and focus, you have to be careful because of potential injuries and so it's very hard and you have to be cautious, while the drama taxes the emotions, and so if you're using some past experienced trauma and try to use it for a scene it might move you beyond expectations.

We lost a place, but my daughter was born at the same time. We were taking care of her in Los Angeles, because there's a tradition that you don't travel with a newborn. To give their body a chance to acclimate. So, literally, we were lying in bed, and my sister called me and said, ‘Turn on the TV.' Our daughter's lying there between us, and I looked over at my lady and said, ‘Baby, our place is gone!' I just turned to my daughter and started kissing her. ‘That's why you came, my girl. You saved our lives... you're a lifesaver! View quote

It's always a joy to work with Spike. He creates an environment that's wonderful for creativity. People leave their egos at the door and just we all come from different genres and different levels within the business. It's kind of exciting to finally meet people like Common, John Cusack, Jennifer Hudson and work with them, and see what the flavors are. You know the most seasoned veterans, we always want to see what the young guys, the young crew, has to offer. If they learn something and if they bring something to the table or if they should just be written off. View quote

I'd be in a whole different ball game. View quote

I was fortunate enough to be trained in the theater. Coming from the theater background, you're schooled to play diverse roles in preparation for the repertory environment, or the repertory type of lifestyle. So, to me, going back and forth from genre to genre is only keeping true to the way I was trained in the theater. And I'm really an action fan. I'm a movie fan in general, but I'm definitely an action fan, as well. View quote
