You only have but so much time to make an impact or people will forget you. My goal always is to make the biggest impact possible.

Timidity has no place in a major action movie. You have to know how to take your moments. Sometimes walking out the door is just walking out the door. But when it's your moment, you have to go for it.

You get better at working by working. And if you don't work, you're not getting better.

There's drama in everything. That's why I love movies. Like Welcome to the Dollhouse, I'm a 350-pound black man, and I could understand what it was like to be a little white girl.

School is cool. Thats why it rhymes
