I'm profoundly changed. There's a bittersweet emotion that I feel from playing this role. . . . I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.

Give me about 10 years, I'm going to run for President. If I can squeeze in an NBA championship before that, I'll do it.

If you look at somebody like 50 Cent, ain't nobody telling 50 what to do and how to do what he does. He has a vision of who he wants to be, and he instructs everybody along those lines.

Just because the kid's cute, doesn't mean you're not the father.

Smiling is the best way to face every problem, to crush every fear, to hide every pain.

You’ll never achieve 100 percent if 99 percent is okay.

Whatever you have is gonna die and you are gonna have to rebirth something new. You have to be willing to ride the waves.
