Don't you want to know what's real and what's not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. So, it's almost like, what's real and what's not?

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

I have to be realistic about what I can and can't do. So whatever I do has to really be worth it. I like to master the things I do.

My mother wouldn't allow me to speak slang when I was growing up. But when I got outside, around my friends, it was 'Yo' and 'That's the joint' and 'Yo, what's up?' So I had my game for my friends and my game for my mom.

I believe that the kids, young people should have an opportunity to have Oscar nominated actors in their movies too.

I didn't know I had it in me. There's more to all of us than we realize. Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think. We're capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.

I learned you really do have to make sure you enjoy life.
