I want to be a man who mixes strengths and compassion. That's my magic elixir, so to speak.

I consider myself a feminist. My whole life has been about standing up for women, for anybody really, who's been abused.

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.

I call myself the Amusement Park. That's because I'm funny and scary at the same time.

I would have been a lot more nervous if I would had known that Matthew McConaughey was [on 30th Annual Television Critics Association Awards] and Julia Louis-Dreyfus was there and all that, and I was like, "Wait a minute and Bryan Cranston's here..." I think I would have got more nervous. But I think thinking it was just like, "Oh yeah critics, we're good." It was great.

A lot of times people are too ego caught up where they made the decision and "We're going to stick with it" and then I had to suffer.

Never let anyone define you. You are the only person who defines you. No one can speak for you. Only you speak for you. You are your only voice.
