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

It just happened that we did [Fences] seven years ago on Broadway. Scott Rudin brought me August Wilson's original screenplay for it, and I realized I hadn't read the play. So I read it. Then I realized that Troy (my character) was 53 - and I was 55 at the time. I realized I better hurry up! I might be too old!

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

The poorest people are the sweetest people.

If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.

I think a role model is a mentor - someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

Hate, hatred for yourself, for other people, will confine you, but love can set you free.
