I've never boxed in my life, never been in a military base in my life, never grew up with anyone in the military.
I'm not just a voice who wants to sing on anything. I co-produce, I want to select who comes in and plays on what songs, who to duet with and all of it.
We went to Annapolis for about four hours one day and were just on the campus. He was taking us around, showing us the boxing ring, showing us the Navy base. When we got to Memorial Hall, he broke down and cried. So I took what I saw from him and used it.
The fight didn't end there. I've never boxed in my life, never been in a military base in my life, never grew up with anyone in the military. I had to go train and do a bunch of things I had no clue about: physical training in the gym and boxing training and learning the choreography. I can say, hands down, 'Annapolis' is the most challenging film I've ever taken on.
If you're not happy about how you look, you have to question how much self-love you have.

My ex-girl told me, "I love you so much, and I know it's just a phase you're going through." When a woman comes at you like that, you look at her as being so mature because she understands if I'm cheating, it's not her problem, it's mine. When a man cheats, it's not a reflection of what she's not.
Ive never had to fight hard for anything Ive gotten in the past.
When you step on the treadmill, make a commitment. Do, say, 3 miles a day. And don't get off until you finish. It doesn't matter what speed you're going. Just don't get off.
I went to the surplus store on Santa Monica and Vine (in Los Angeles) and went and got me a Navy outfit, put the black tape under my eyes. I got me a whistle and went in there with a hat looking like a full-on drill sergeant.
Is Chris Rock still gonna host the Oscars after this blatant racism?? Is everyone still gonna show up??
In this town [L.A], I guess it takes homosexuals to be discriminated against in order for someone to finally step UP and wanna do something.
I'm definitely more talented than most of the guys I know.
You have to take your hat off to the homosexual and gay community cause right now they're as strong as black people USE to be when it comes to their rights.
