Life- ride it until the wheels fall off.

When I'm playing Big Momma, it's so much work that all I want to do, when I'm finished, is go back home and just relax and study my lines and get ready for the next day.

I don't like forcing comedy and people just trying to do things just to find a funny beat all the time.

If I give you two children films then come back and give you an adult film. I just love mixing it up and not being pegged into one specific thing.

Boxing kept me out of the streets, by giving me something to do. And it gave me a father figure in the coach that was there for me. I just reiterated what my mother was trying to teach me about focusing and getting my life together.

You might see some of the movies that I'm in where there are shades of drama or whatever, but for the most part, I don't get offered serious roles.

Enjoy your popcorn and enjoy the show. It's just a movie, so have fun!
