Quotes
“When I started acting, I was young and didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I was focused on playing basketball. My mom was an actress, and she brought the idea to me.”
“My mom is living her dream through me…and I’m loving it!”
“What Jake and I have in common is that we both have a loving heart. Once we get to know you and we have a relationship with you it’s hard to let that go. His bonds and relationships mean a lot to him – despite what Jake did to his friend in season four – but we both love hard on the people we love.”
“I can get emotional when it comes to certain things, but as far as me being emotional in general – showing my emotions all the time – I don’t like to.”
“Playing a character with a lot of emotions challenges me to bring out my emotions so I can portray his emotions on screen, so it’s definitely helped me here.”
“Well, my mum was an actress. So when we got this role, she was like, “We need to do some scene study!”. So she sat me down on the couch and we watched The Wire, the season with all the kids, and we studied it together. We literally sat there for hours watching it, episode after episode, we even went back and re-watched some episodes. She really wanted me to make sure I was ready and I got this.”
“I really, really want to do action movies. You know, action, slow-motion explosions behind me and stuff like that!”
“My dream is to do better for my family and give my family a better life. So whether it’s acting, music, both, or whatever, I ain’t got a problem with it as long as I’m doing what I got to do to make it happen.”
“The attention I get doesn’t bother me much, but I have to really watch what I do out in the public, because that could really affect my career.”
“It’s kind of fun to play a character who is different than me. I get to see what it’s like on the other side.”
“Can’t play with me you know I come trim, I’m in a different league.”
“There’s a bunch of kids in Chicago like Jake. They have the wrong guidance. They don’t have a man at home to look up to like jake. They don’t have a good father figure.”
