I want to do movies that mean something, that make people laugh and cry great movies, period-piece movies and work with the best people out there, who bring the best out of me.

That’s the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes!

I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.

I feel like every time I go out I want to do a good job. I want people to say that he's just as good at stand-up as he is in some of the movies I've seen him in, so I try to do the best every time I go out there.

One thing about me, when I make a decision about something, I realize when you make choices in life, that dictates your life.

When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.

Just believe in yourself and work really hard. And when doors open, take advantage of every opportunity you can.
