I went to school, majored in theatre, and said 'Mom, I have to choose my own destiny. I want to be an actor.' A couple of weeks after I graduated college I called my mother up and said 'Can I borrow $200?' and she said 'Why don't you act like you've got $200.'

Most people think they KNOW the answer. I am willing to ADMIT I don't even know the question.

I don't possess a lot of self-confidence. I'm an actor so I simply act confident every time I hit the stage.

I call Los Angeles the city of alternatives. If you don't like mountains, we got the ocean. If you don't like Knott's Berry Farm, we've got Disneyland. If you don't like basketball, we've got the Clippers.

I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

The bottom line is I've never had anybody bark at me in a mall with malicious intent. Everybody who barks at the kid from Cleveland is to let him know, "I know who you are." It's always a positive thing.

My name is Arsenio. That's a very unique name for a black man. In Greek, it means Leroy.
