SVA Theatre was packed on Wednesday, June 22, for the season 3 premiere of "Power." Megan Ryte of Hot 97 was smack dab in the middle of the action on the red carpet and managed to snag interviews with cast members Omari Hardwick, Curtis "50" Cent Jackson, Lela Loren, Lucy Walters, Joseph Sikora, David Fumero, Adam Huss, Andy Bean and show creator Courtney A. Kemp.

Courtney A. Kemp: The most important thing is my ability to help other women. That's the thing that is the most important. And other people of color. And to reach down the ladder and bring up the people behind us ... that opportunity is amazing. Whatever you're doing right now, that should be your focus. Not just yourself, but what you can do for others.

Joseph Sikora: I'm doing what Tommy always does and that is work. He is going to be rebuilding the drug empire. I think the curtain comes off and Tommy, who has been afraid to say 'Oh my God, now I've got everything to do by myself.' He suddenly realizes 'I have been doing everything by myself for quite a while.' So, there's the extra responsibility of that, coupled with the fact that he has an ultimatum now to kill Ghost.

Lela Loren: Angela's risked everything for (Ghost). And in part that's why this love is so intoxicating to her ... It's allowed another self that she never experienced to be born within her. This other more feminine, girlish self. That self is directly wedded to that relationship and she doesn't wanna let it go.On the other string we struggle with this loyalty. Loyalty at what cost? Angela's incredibly loyal to her man, but she has very clear parameters where being a murdering drug dealer is a non-negotiable. Everything will work out great if Jamie can live up to his promise that Ghost is dead.

Lucy Walters: It's good and bad, right? Buy you know, honestly I feel like people just love the show so much that nobody has ever said anything (negative) to me personally. I think they know that it's fun to hate the characters, so they don't bring it to a personal place, which I appreciate.
