I think of myself as a young prince from a long line of royalty.

I had faith in the concept and the theory that all Americans are endowed with the right to a fair trial and I would be fairly judged and fairly tried.

Internationally, I have as large of a fan base - if not larger - than I have domestically.

I grew up in the Bronx. The Bronx teaches you to survive. It's like, 'Bring it on!'

I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.

I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.

There are so few guys who do action and do it well. Even fewer who are African-American. Even fewer who have classical-theater training. So a cat like me coming in, I'm bringing all of that to an action movie.
