The central idea of love is not even a relationship commitment, the first thing is a personal commitment to be the best version of yourself with or without that person that you're with. You have to every single day-mind, body, and spirit-wake up with a commitment to be better.

I just think that the gifts that God has given me and the attention that I have, I just don't feel like acting is the limit of it. I just feel like there's so much more that I could do...And, you know, every day I wake up and I try to do a little more and I just want the world to be different and better because I was here.

So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.

I am inspired beyond my ability to articulate... and now I know what and who I want to be... a soldier for peace.

I love being black in America, and especially being black in Hollywood.

And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.

For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie.
