I want to play a villain. I want to play a romantic heroine.

A villain always preferred luring the heroine to his lair.

I'll tell you the secret. When you begin with a character, you want to begin by creating a villain.

I want people to recognize Luther Allison when I play.

One of my favorite things to do is to play music really loud and dance my butt off in the morning. I'll do it alone in my apartment. You can't have a bad day after that.

There's no trajectory to follow. Even if you were to say, 'OK, I'm going to model my ascent based on this other person's,' luck and timing play such a big part that it's really futile.
