Denzel's quality, I think, is his faith. You have all the action in your head and you have to believe in it and just do it. That's what he does and that's what he taught me to do.

A few years ago you couldn't go from TV to film. It was like a 'no no' but I believe when you find a plan and purpose that God has for your life, there's not anything man can do to you. Especially when your faith is not really standing in the wisdom of man, you're really standing in the wisdom of God.

I love hip-hop and you can't tell me I'm not a hip-hop artist.

I loved B.I.G., but not like I liked Tupac, because he was an actor, so I related to him.

I went to Jersey City State College to please a family member. I wasn't prepared for school. To say I failed out is putting it nicely.

I get to be in movies where it's mostly dialogue, and I want to be in something, that for me, feels like kickboxing.

Sometimes my faith becomes more sensitive to how people feel, as opposed to what needs to be.
