“I was just sitting down, I’m doing a scene with Queen Latifah…She gave me a real opportunity, not just on some — some real lines I’m just tapping into this. And just her response to how I’m moving, she gave me a lot of credit for it and I’m just thinking as I walk away ‘Wow who could’ve imagined this,’ I didn’t recite no lines or read the script until that morning I’m on the set smoking a blunt.”
