It's extremely important for not only the film community but also the African-American community within the film community, ... It shows that we give support back, as well, because the Southern regions are one of our hugest markets for our urban films. And when you take it away from even the whole industry, it's just like those are people that need help. That's family down there. I have family members down there.
That's supposed to be next year, ... That's something that I actually wrote and produced, too.
I admire the moguls of the game. The Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones and P. Diddys of the world. They have done things that affected our culture, and I want to do the same thing.
I actually created the concept and wrote the story and produced it, so it's kind of like my baby, going from my idea to a feature film.
It was like playing cops and robbers all day long. This is a testosterone dream to drive fast cars, shoot guns and blow stuff up. It was definitely amazing.
It's just that when I filmed 'Shall We Dance' in Chicago with Jennifer Lopez, she didn't see the need to do a love scene with me.

I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word 'diva' and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn't afraid to show it.
I was 16 years old, driving to LA, and sleeping in my car, just trying to make it happen.
Trying to save a hater is like trying to teach astrophysics to a wino!
To be compared to Will Smith is probably one of the coolest things because that's who I came up admiring.
So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question, he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.
My Vocation is my Vacation. I love what I do.
Right now, I'm as single as a slice of American cheese.
