I didn't want to audition the kids so much; I just wanted to talk to them because I like seeing how they are because their mothers usually mess them up with practice. So, I'd rather talk to them and see how they respond. I just throw things at them and see how they can hit the ball back, and Saniyya Sidney was good.

I and haven't been unemployed for 20 years. I'm an exception to the rule.

Every punch that's thrown is mine. Every punch that's caught, I catch.

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 work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

You don't pick black actors or black directors because they are black. You pick them because they are good. If you lend somebody 50 million dollars you want you're money back. You don't care if they are oppressed. You just want you're money back.

You can’t break me because you didn’t make me.
