We are all allowed to support whoever we'd like to in this country. That's the greatest part about being an American - one of them, that is; you know what I mean?
I didn't want to be the kind of man that my father was. So I've tried, my entire life, to be the complete and utter opposite of that. And it has served not only the art well, but I think the audience well.
I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
I think that with everything I've done, in the end, whoever the central character is, they would find a way to forgive, because that's really important to me.
I don't know about marriage as much as I do know that I'd be a great father.
I feel like I died as a child.
You should've heard the roar of these thousands of black people in the room. They were fired up and angry and ready to go to the movies.
I'm really happy for the loyalty and continued support of my fans.
It's schizophrenic -- that's how I describe it. It's all over the place, man. It's joy, it's happy, it's sad, it's everything. It's just an emotional roller coaster, you know? Even the plays themselves, you come to see them and it's like a stand-up comedic routine. I'm breaking the wall. I'm talking to the audience. It's theater. It's some of everything. It's concert.
You close the door on me and tell me I can't, I'm gonna find a way to get in.
I remember being a kid and praying in the hell of my house to have somebody love me and somebody that I could love.
I'm not an artist. I set the camera up and tell my story.
I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.
I'm a child who was abused. I know the difference. I clearly know the difference. The whipping for correction and then their child abuse.
