I don't ever watch myself. By watching, you try to perfect yourself, become a robot.

Suffering is a good teacher. It keeps you in its grip until you've learned your lesson.

I want to do something that people can really say, 'Hey, man, that was good, I'm proud of you, I'm proud of that.' 'Pride' and 'Transformers' and things like that.

It was rough being dark. I got heat from my own people more than anyone else. I remember going to my mom and saying, 'Why am I so black?' And she said, 'Because I'm black. You just gotta always work harder than the average bear.'

Fear is not one of my attributes.

My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.

If you mess something up, remember who got you there. Don't be pointing fingers, even if finger-pointing is called for. Only one you got to blame is your own self.
