I understood because of his personality. [Donald Trump] is different. And for years the presidency has been like a smooth ride and nothing really dramatic has happened. But with him every day is full of energy. Things are going the happen. And today when I met him, it was like meeting a different person.

About the state of black America, I've been working on that for many, many years. And [Donald Trump] said certain things in his early days about wanting to do something about it. We have a lot of violence in our neighborhoods now. We need education. And we need jobs. Is what I'm trying to say.

When you need a friend, you can always count on your teammates.

When you have a problem, rules don't solve your problem. It's caring and education.

Make sure when anyone tackles you he remembers how much it hurts.

Ya know, America's a great country. It's great because it allows you to fight. And you can win, if you have the stamina and tenacity.

I have a theory. An audience doesn't need to get wrapped up in blackness every time they see a Negro actor. And a movie doesn't have to be about race just because there's a Negro in it.
