All of a sudden I got a call the night of the first time we were filming and they're like, "Terry, we made a mistake. We need you to be you. You're not a joke with these guys and you're not mousy, you're very aggressive. Now it just so happens that you're going through these things, but we need you to be more physical in your role."

When you have writers who recognize they're making a wrong turn and correct it, I knew I was in good hands.

I have the greatest appreciation for [producers] Matt Alvarez and Ice Cube. They put me in Friday after Next, and now this, which I hope is just the start of a long, wonderful relationship. I love the urban comedies, because they keep you famous, keep you having fun, and keep you in love with the business. Those are my roots. I'll always love doing those.

A football team is like a society, straight up. There are rapists, but there are creatures and there are film guys.

I promise you, I'm fake sometimes, but other times I'm like, dude sit down.

The Muppets are no joke. They are for real. Each one has an agent and manager and all that stuff. I'm not even kidding.

My mantra is "I don't want to let anybody down." Maybe that's not the right attitude, because you can't please everybody. But I'm giving it everything I've got.
