I put God first, and strive to do my best by being a loving human being, recognizing that sometimes I make mistakes and bad choices.

I embody EVERYTHING from the Godly to the party.

The human being that I strive to be is a great human being, like a loving human being, but as an actor, you take on roles that are not you and that's the fun part for me as far as acting goes. You really get to learn about other human beings and not judge.

To have my name said like, "Common and John Legend, Golden Globe nominees," is one of the greatest achievements I've ever had as an artist, as a person.

I tend to look at the good things about what's going on in life, and I do that the best I can. At the end of the day - I have felt outside at times - but always man, I keep my eyes on the prize and know that I can get inside if I choose.

We as people have a purpose here to contribute to the Earth, to contribute to people's goodness and good life.

I appreciate this moment in time...ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes
