They all matter to me, whether I'm working on a Sam Jackson film for a week or I'm the star of my own TV series - I take it all very seriously, and I have a healthy respect for the work in general, despite the role.

I have as much input to the blues I just never got the chance, the opportunity or maybe the respect.

No, but I've always felt that with true talent, and a commitment to hard work, it is possible to achieve an enduring respect and appreciation. In other words, I don't take my fans for granted.

I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.

I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do - play it right and with respect.
