All movies aren't fun; some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.

I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.

There are a lot of little kids, amazingly enough, that see me. Their parents go, 'That's Mace Windu.' They go, 'Oh, right. Well, you know, Jedi can fall from really high places. So you're probably not dead, but you only have one hand now.' That's good. There's hope.'

Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.

I like books. I've always got a literature book going. I'd be in there reading, in my off time.

I love to play real people... good people that I know the audience will get behind. It's the good people in the world that I gravitate to.

I never thought I'd be working with Sam [L.Jackson] .That's about as good as it gets.
