America eats its youth like reptiles...Educat e yourself before they dumb you down.

The '80s was brand new. It was AIDS. It was gangbanging. It was starting to become big dope-dealing, and crack was starting to flood the neighborhoods. And then you had hip hop, which was something new, other than what we were doing, which was sports, playing football, basketball, baseball. And I was excited.

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

Sometimes, when you want to laugh, reality steps in.

I definitely support cop acting more than cops, but all of them ain't bad, just some of them.

While I had done the movies through Revolution Studios, we own the sitcom. It was a situation where, once the team was assembled, I knew we could create something really, really good.

My thing is, I know kids cuss, they do their thing, but I tell my kids, 'Don't do it in earshot of any adults, or you're in trouble.'
