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.

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.

I've been a law-abiding citizen ever since I grew up in the Bronx, New York.

A lot of the cats I grew up with in the South Bronx found themselves in sticky situations.

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.

A lot of people now don't know I've been on Broadway.

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