When I did 'Think Like A Man', I would run into people who were acting like it was the first thing I'd ever done. I was at the premiere of 'Think Like A Man,' and people were coming up to me, like, 'Man, you're going to get work after this, bruh.'
'Soul Plane' put me in a position to succeed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be the lead man.
The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'
My break in Bollywood is definitely the high point of my life.
When the audience appreciates your film, that's the happiest feeling for an actor because at the end of the day, you are making a film for them. When they like it and appreciate it, you feel your work is done.
I refused to describe myself as an actress until 'EastEnders' because, until then, I couldn't support myself without doing other jobs.
Every experience I've had with 'Power' has been so great, so to become a series regular was fantastic.
I have been very lucky from the moment I went to my first audition, which was for 'CSI: New York,' and I got it.
I got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.
It's just coincidental that the acting took off first over everything else.
Playing Karen was so satisfying that it almost cured my acting bug completely. Not that I had conquered the world of acting. It was just that I had something to prove to myself when I started Will & Grace. Now I feel like, okay, well, I've satisfied that.
The audience's reaction is the most rewarding thing for an actor, especially me.
When I got that role of Mateo in 'Superstore,' it was such a huge victory for me, professionally and personally.
If, at the end of the day, I can look back and see pictures of all the characters I've played, and there's a smorgasbord of weirdos and interesting, odd, different characters, I'd be so happy.
