• You can try your passion for a while and see if it works and if it doesn't, at least you tried. I think that's why I quit my job and went back to acting. I said this is what I'm going to dedicate my life to doing because I didn't want to look up and say, "Man I wish I would have been an actor. I wish I would have tried."

• You have to believe in yourself and you have to take risks. You know how people say 30 is new 20 and 40 is new 30? Well I think essentially what that's telling us is there are so many opportunities out there, you don't have to rush into something.

• Pensamos que si nos hacemos la prueba, eso significa que tienes que tener el VIH. O pensamos que por el mero hecho de conocer a alguien con VIH, vamos a contraer el VIH o porque es gay o lesbiana o por lo que sea. Se ha difundido esta información falsa y se ha creado este estigma que nos impide ir a averiguar si estamos infectados. La verdad es que no importa quién seas, si tienes relaciones sexuales, tienes que hacerte la prueba, así de simple.

• We [African-Americans] are nearly half of all of the new cases of HIV every year, but we only represent 13 percent of the [U.S.] population. So, this is something that's literally bombarding our community, non-stop. We're such a small part of the nation [and] those numbers are alarming. We're putting ourselves in danger, we don't talk about getting tested and we don't talk about knowing [your status].
