The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man.

But then all that died down and as far as casting was concerned it didn't really matter that I had been on Broadway.

I do not go outdoors... As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of living in New York City is indoors. You want greenery? Order the spinach.

One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned.

As far as I'm concerned, the best acting class is life.

As far as I'm concerned, I want to remain the mean little man I always was.
