The chances you take… the people you meet… the people you love...the faith that you have - that’s what’s going to define your life.

I was first introduced to August Wilson in the 80s when Charles Dutton did Ma Rainey and James Earl Jones and Courtney Vance did Fences. I've long considered August Wilson to be one of the five greatest playwrights in American history.

I've always felt protected. That's the God's honest truth.

We'll all retire from life at some point. The great thing about acting is you don't necessarily have to retire.

Don't get all sentimental on me, Makes me think I'm gonna die.

I don't look back, no. Maybe when I'm older; people say, 'What's your favorite film?' I say, 'My next one.' I'm not interested in sitting around; I just don't, never have.

I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!
