If I can start my day out by saying my prayers and getting myself focused, then I know I'm doing the right thing. That 10 minutes helps me in every way throughout the day.
I prepare mentally and physically for everything I do. I like having to do both, because you submerge yourself into the character and the world and you live it until it's over.
It's all about love and how we are all connected.
The best part of a great movie is a great villain and I usually have a tendency to root for the bad guy.
I've always been into working out and eating healthy. That's just who I am.
This is my most important role. If I fail at this, I fail at everything.
Tiger Woods is the only sports star who's worth every penny he makes.
I want to give my kids the world, but I also want them to appreciate everything, to succeed, to be good people, to enjoy life. This is my most important role. If I fail at this, I fail at everything.
I miss being able to wake up when I want and go on stage when I want and pull down my pants when I want.
A lot of talented actors still have to pay their bills.
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
I grew up in predominantly black neighborhoods and went to predominantly black schools. And hip-hop is what I grew up listening to in my teenage years. Basically I'm just being myself.
I've been in enough movies to know that when you're on the set and you start shooting, you're looking at playback and you get a sense of what it's going to be like.
James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
