We were a spiritual family. My mother always told me, 'People hated Jesus Christ, so why should you worry about them?' Once she put it in that perspective, I was like, 'You're right, Ma.'

Some of these guys... I've worked with Ice Cube, I think he's an immensely talented rapper and actor.

I learned never to say, 'That's too tight.' If a woman puts it on and feels good about herself, then it's for her.

Everyone realized I was the innocent victim of a shakedown.

I've worked with some actors who can't act.

Leo couldnt deliver Mr. Martin Scorsese his Oscar with The Aviator, but I will go on record to say I will do so in The Departed.

There isn't a switch that I turn on. I'm an actor. This is what I do.
