Have you ever considered that there isn't a safe time to be around you?

Within a lot of African-American households, I think, there's an idea that black men don't want to take an active participation in the lives of their children. That if they do, there has to be some sort of ulterior motive.

Look, my best friend is Xena, Warrior Princess and she is not going to like this forced wedding thing, if you get my drift.

Dance is the fastest, most direct route to the truth.

I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut.

You know there are two kinds of tears. Tears for those who leave you and tears for those who you never let go. And I won't say goodbye to you Xena, 'cause we'll be together again one day.

You don't have to be strong all the time, Xena. Sometimes it's good for the soul to be soft.
