I try to stay out of the spotlight as much as humanly possible, because I think that when actors, whether or not they've chosen it or it has been thrust upon them, are living very public lives, it affects your ability to get lost in their performances.
I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness.
Let us all pledge to protect this opportunity in order to see that the wish of peace becomes a true and daily fact in this region.
