Don't send me your script if you want me to play the black best friend; I just won't do that.

I'm very aware that people find my wife and I's marriage disagreeable. But all I have to do is look at my four kids, and the love I have in my heart for my wife after 18 years of marriage, and the ugliness does fade.

To break down prejudice is to get to a place of understanding, that can erode the ignorance.

Excellence is the best weapon against prejudice.

Because I was aspirational, I did my work, I was respectful to my teachers, I experienced a lot of bullying from the black kids. My friends were largely white or Asian.

I consider myself a human being, a Christian, a father, a husband, so many things, before being a black person.

I truly believe that one of the things that has been lacking in America is a spirit of repentance about the injustices of slavery and the injustices of segregation and racism generally. I truly believe that we cannot come to a place of reconciliation until there is individual repentance and corporate repentance.
