Our household is built on love and respect. And we don't really let negative vibes stay too long. It's worked out. I got a great family, great kids.

You always want your kids to step up at the moment of truth.

I go light on breakfast. Sometimes it's a yogurt, but a lot of times it's leftovers from one of my wife's dinners.

Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world.

For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.

My movies work because not many people in Hollywood are like me.

I grew up in the seventies and disco was big. That influenced me the most.
