Thank God in advance for what's already yours.

[Martin] Scorsese probably could have directed Schindler's List and [Steven] Spielberg probably could have directed Goodfellas. But it's as much to do with the difference in culture as it is with race.

That's what I tell young actors. "You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role."

Revenge is a meal best served cold.

We know what hair smells like when a hot comb hits it. That's a cultural thing. We know what that smells like on Sunday mornings, usually church-related or something. In my house, it was getting ready for church and your sister was getting her hair fried.

I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.

We do what we have to so we can do what we want to.
