[My mother] worked at thrift stores and she didn't have a high school education. She sacrificed everything she had for me and my brothers. I never went without. She showed me that she could put food on the table, buy us Jordans, we had the best clothes and she worked two-three odd jobs.

There's strength in numbers. Once we show the world that we're together, they can't stop us.

I love doing movies that touch people's lives.

I have an amazing wife, Tia, and an amazing son, Cree, and I'm a family man first and they keep me grounded. They're my support system, so they make me stronger.

My son is my routine and priority, period!

We need to be together, and love each other.

Will Smith would say your five closest friends are what you end up to be and ever since I heard him say that, I said I gotta know who's in my life because that's who you're going to become. That's advice I'd give to these young men out here, killing each other and at war at each other because it's bigger than that.
