There are going to be ups and downs in any relationship. It's a team.

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

Romeo Must Die was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor.

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 parents always worked through their arguments and never went to bed angry. They may not have agreed with one another, but they didn't let that disagreement stop them from laying with one another in peace at night.

If we believe the good we read about ourselves, we have to believe the bad we read about ourselves.

Things are changing. I've been training since I was 9 years old to stretch my wings as an actor dramatically, but have never really been afforded the opportunity to show that.
