Theres this little box that African-American actors have to work in, in the first place, and I was able to rise above that box.

How can music without any words make you think? I listen to jazz when I'm doing something else. I use it for background music, I don't just sit down and concentrate on it. Lyrics, words - that's what makes me think.
