I've never taken myself too seriously.

It's natural for any actor that segues into directing to be an actor's director. You know how to relate to the actors.

For me, Barack Obama represents grace, respect, betterment and community.

Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us.

We were all Romans once, I guess.

I believe success is preparation, because opportunity is going to knock on your door sooner or later but are you prepared to answer that?

A lot of directors are overbearing and tend to make you doubt your instincts.
