Today I begin a new life for I am the master of my abilities and today is going to be a great and beautiful day!

The beautiful thing about my intelligence is that it doesn't really come in one specific department. So even if something hasn't happened to me, I have information on how to get you through whatever you may be going through.

When you're in shape, you don't have to walk up to somebody and say, 'Yo, I love myself.' You look like you care for yourself.

God will NEVER give YOU something SOMEBODY ELSE is supposed to have

I think the Oscar So White campaign really sparked ... Because you didn't want to be the Oscars, so everybody in Hollywood was like, well, before the heat comes down. The Golden Globes diversified. Just everybody ended up diversifying as far as handing out awards to more diverse folks in Hollywood because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what your race is. If you're waking up every day and you're doing the work, you deserve an opportunity to be awarded like everybody else.

When you play somebody's life, everything about your likeness, everything about the way you talk, whatever, has to become that person.

Ive never had to fight hard for anything Ive gotten in the past.
