You take the quote from Sam Jackson about how he'll never work with a rapper, and I can understand where he's coming from because he says rappers can't act.

Sometimes, as a team, you win together. Sometimes as a team you lose together.

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

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

I always thought I was the finest thing around.

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

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