When I was young, to have a big nose, big lips or dark skin was the worst. You were the wretched.

If I don't know how to swim and two weeks later I know how to swim, I know how to swim.

I'm trying to transform behaviors and ideas that have never been challenged in certain ways in my life. I'm not the kid that I was at 19.

When you're in a relationship with someone you have to be in control of that relationship and you have to be as open as you can about everything, straight up, out the gate.

At 19, if a woman said no, no meant no. If she didn't say anything and she was open, and she was down, it was like how far can I go? If I touch her breast and she's down for me to touch her breast, cool. If I touch her lower, and she's down and she's not stopping me, cool. I'm going to kiss her or whatever. It was simply if a woman said no or pushed you away that was non-consent.

When an artist becomes complacent, he dies.

I think chemistry and great acting go hand-in-hand.
