When I first saw Dick Gregory on television, growing up in Queens, it was startling and amazing, because nobody else was doing what he was doing.

When I was growing up, all these superheroes were white. On some level, you put that out of your mind... but as you get older, you realize it's a very one-sided affair. So I'm very glad to see that these movies are becoming more diversified.

I've played good guys for most of my career, and when I came out to California, I thought, 'I really would like to find some wonderfully intelligent bad guy to play.'

My whole career has been a landmark. So I don't think about the pressure too much. I just go out and do, because I believe in it.

That's when it becomes a business. When you've been public a long time, when it's a career. You do certain films, you sell them.

Fortunately, now I've got myself in a position where things are about story and not money. In my earlier career, it was more about getting my foot in the door and to get enough money to live, to be perfectly honest.

I've already overcome a lot of things in my career, and if I don't fight in the UFC anymore, for sure I'm gonna find other ways to keep growing my legacy.

If I'm enjoying something, I'd like to be able to just have it all. Frankly, that's the way I'm approaching my career now. I'm a total workaholic.
