I was working in computers when this stranger approached me out of the blue, saying I should become an actor. I took it as a gift from God, because I had been praying for clarity about what He wanted me to do, since I wasn't happy in computers.

I think it's like the '60s - we're going to see another revolution in film where these new filmmakers stand up and take ownership of what film is and mould it into what they want.

I never examined my role in male culture, in hyper masculinity. I never examined it, nobody ever called me on it.

In all actuality, we got to do better about preparing our men for their interactions with women.

When I walk home at night I don't have to worry about anything. But when a woman walks home at night she gotta think about a lot of different things.

Every day I'm reassessing what I've been taught against what I see, and the man I need to be if I'm going to call myself a leader of anybody.

I need to take toward a lot of things that will refine me and make me better suited for leading anyone out of any place of injustice to a place of justice.
