I've lived a little bit and traveled the world and experienced a lot of things that I can play any role, and I think I can get into stuff that people never thought I would ever do because of my experiences and growth as a person.

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.

I travel. I do a lot of traveling around the world.

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.

It was like a family reunion, watching the movie. It's always a good feeling when I can get a screening for my family.

I couldn't imagine not having clean water.

Georgia was a great place to live, but I wanted to get out because I knew the opportunities for what I was doing - stand-up comedy and eventually acting - were in Los Angeles.
