I always thought I was the finest thing around.

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.'

My wife and I have always trusted each other, and I have to thank her strength.

It doesn't matter what people feel about you because everyone is going to have an opinion.

Weight was never an issue with me.

Glenn Close is a living icon. You look at the work, and I think it's wild, because she thinks some of her best work was in Dangerous Liaisons and that's what I believe as well.

I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship.
