If anything, I've seen myself as the full spectrum of colors, and to be faced with not being able to do something just because I'm of a particular race has been something that I've always found very difficult - even today.

I didn't have the confidence to leave the band because of a solo career, or anything like that. I just wanted to grow.

I did something that no brown-skinned man in the movie industry ever did. I made a brown-skinned man look very romantic - a matinee idol. If you think about it, what I introduced is historical because it had never happened before, and it hasn't happened since - not on that level.

I don't watch something just because it's a specific genre.

Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.

I'm not a vitiligo spokesperson just because I have vitiligo.
