I think Prince should open up a little more to other artists. Just because we love Prince. Especially the old stuff - we love him to death. But if he opened up he would be something to deal with. Imagine Kanye West producing a Prince track? It would be banoodles!

You are what you repeatedly do when things get hard.

You guys have so much energy. I threw a party in Toronto and there were, like, 4,000 people who couldn't get in.

When you're an actor or actress in this business, usually the natural progression is to direct, but a lot of times, we don't get a chance to get to it. Myself, I really want to get into it. I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera.

I'm bad on Valentine's Day, but even worse on Christmas. I go shopping at nine o'clock on December 24th every year. Nobody else is there. I'm in Toys'R'Us all by myself. I get there five minutes before closing.

Every single thing in my life is built around race.

I never planned to win an Oscar. When I auditioned for Ray, I was just thinking about what a great project it would be.
