You have to believe in yourself in spite of what other people believe.

I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.

Should I be worried about being a slave and being returned to slavery? Because certain things happened in the Constitution that had to change.

I have the strangest time to get cast in anything. 'Ghost' was the same thing. Six months I had to wait for them to decide they had seen everybody possible. Why not? What limits me? I'm black? Oh, am I black?

We're dealing with old issues that aren't ours. We carry them and we pass them on to those who come after us. I am hoping to crack some of those.

Who amongst us doesn't want to be a hero?

My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic. I don't believe in man-made religions.
