Sometimes you do have to bank on yourself. You do have to believe in your ideas enough to really get out there and fight for it despite what people think of some young kids from the hood.

I have a no-die clause in every movie. The black people can't be dying all the time.

When I want to push myself and do intense workouts, I do that, but I'm not going to do it because anybody thinks I should look a certain way. It's really more about how I feel and about being healthy.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

I need something bigger than myself. And the only thing that can be would be a child. Someone who would help me live even more selflessly.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.
