As a kid, I was just led out in the morning to go spend my day with my friends and just run in the woods. And I'd only come home to eat or when I was thirsty.

I remember, as a kid, I'd follow the rooster and the chickens and watch what type of grass they'd eat. And me and my friends would eat that grass, like that was our lunch.

When I was growing up, my white friends would call me: 'Hey, Chief!' Even when I go to work now, people call me 'Chief.'

I'd like to go out with friends, but I train twice a day, then I go to school, and at night I go home.

It's much easier to come back as a recurring character. Because you already know his traits and who he is and what he's about.

Movies have been my way to get out of my backyard. I'm trying to let people know that movies change people's lives.
