I'm taking my time with the acting and learning as I go.

I know I'm different. Even when I think about an acting career, there are so many limited roles to begin with. I have the ability to be Spanish, Indian, Italian, black, Persian. What roles do I see that compliment that?

I grew up dancing. When I was three years old, my mom would always watch Latin ballroom dancing competitions on PBS.

When you have a live performance, you're going to be pitchy here and there, unless you have perfect pitch.

So far in my career, I've achieved what I've achieved because I've believed that I could do it. And I've never believed that anyone's better than me, because I think when you start doing that, you've already lost the fight.

Guru died tragically and there were so many rumors about how he went out. I got to see him in the hospital right before he passed, and one of the last things I said to him before I walked out of the room was that I was going to make sure that his family was straight.

Fatherhood is a joy. I feel very lucky to have a family. It gives you a perspective on things.

Mum was very cool. Even though she came from a pretty affluent family, she was cool. She was really good, a very normal person.
