I don't have any love for this business or the game or for acting. This is my day job.
I don't believe in premarital sex. It enabled me to date three or four women at the same time, because as long as I wasn't having sex with them, I could always just walk away.
I don't think President Obama has been that revolutionary in reaching out to ethnic communities. President Reagan did a lot for the black community that people don't realize.
I like to watch mankind in its futile attempt to understand the unknown, when they don't even understand that which they know
I found from working on the film that I am a bigot, at times. And that I am also a coward, at times.
My life's experiences, I've always had, my uncle used to call it antenna. I know what's going to happen oftentimes before it happened when it's involving me
Don't just view me as an actor
Dating black women will ruin your life
The difference with Cleveland is that the racial tension was not a casual taste of it. It was outlandish.
When you feel betrayed by someone that you trust the most, as an actor, you look for something that's going to let you express some of your inner emotions and anger.
I've always had a natural fear of the police, or abuse of their power
And, so yeah, I'll always want to work in independent films because you're not forced into a category or a formula
In every person we meet there's this little piece of God in them and that's who you talk to. And that's the only person that you allow to talk to you. When something else is speaking, you walk away from that. If it's not good, if it's not love, you walk away from it
I just wanted to be a scientist
