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

I was trying so hard. I would memorize the entire script, then I'd be lipping everybody's lines while they were talking. When I watch those episodes, it's disgusting. My performances were horrible.

I grew up in the church, Resurrection Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and my grandmother was that grandmother at the church, the one always at the church, always putting on the events. It was deeply instilled in me that every action, everything I create, everything I say and do in the world is inexorably bound to the lives of everybody I come in contact with - and it's my responsibility to put things into the world that have a positive influence on humanity.

I try to connect to human emotion. I'm always looking for something primal, something really base that is beyond language, that people understand beyond language.

It's quite highly possible that I have peaked. I mean, I just can't imagine what else I could do beyond this. It's really a bittersweet kind of feeling.

Greatness exists in all of us.

I control every interaction with every human being I'm with. I can actually manage any situation with 98 percent of the people on Earth.
