My choices were never wrong.

Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn't want to do.

I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.

You can say what you want to about a rapper in a movie, but look at what Ice Cube has done. Ice Cube has created more opportunities for other actors to get jobs in this business than some actors have.

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.

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

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