I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.

I get nervous when a picture goes beyond two hours.

By the way, sitting with other mommies is probably the most frightening experience in the entire world. They're serious into mommy-shaming.

When you trust the director you want to trust his or her choices. I don't want to say, 'No, I don't like this girl or that guy," when the director really loves them. No, you want to go with what the director likes.

A part of me still says, 'Maybe, Denzel, you're supposed to preach. Maybe you're still compromising.' I've had an opportunity to play great men and, through their words, to preach. I take what talent I've been given seriously, and I want to use it for good.

Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.

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