I'm not looking at an action movie as something where I just jump around and look beautiful and show my muscles. Since there are so few people that do this and have that pedigree, people disregard their contribution.

We're conditioned in this country to believe that if there's a problem, the black man is usually the culprit.

If a woman decides she likes me, it would behoove her to take into consideration that my art has had a strong influence on the type of person I am.

Lot of the scripts I've been in with other non-white actors haven't been great. Lot of non-white actors ain't all that great.

The first time I jumped from a plane, I screamed like a woman. I was two miles up and you could hear me clear as day. Now I love it.

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

I'm a physical type of actor and love projects in which I can get physical. The more action, the better.
