But think about how evil that is for one man to think that he’s actually more valuable than a woman, because as a human being your worth is immeasurable.
I call myself the Amusement Park. That’s because I’m funny and scary at the same time.
I relax while I work. It’s really weird but my job doesn’t feel like work at all. That’s why I try to do as much as possible. When I’m on the set, learning lines and playing around, I’m relaxed. It’s so amazing.
Never stop! Slow down sometimes, but never stop!
I always stay in the urban comedy genre because it just never gets old. It’s one of those things that people watch, again and again. This is that kind of movie. It gives you longevity.
You can’t be perfect, so enjoy your imperfections.
I feel like we need to make new superheroes, African-American superheroes, that people would accept.
And remember how he wrote the first Rocky in a few days, and wouldn’t sell the script even though he was starving, because they wanted to put somebody else in the lead role. To see what he’s accomplished, dog, that’s what it’s all about.
I’m actually a perpetual 13-year-old. I’ve never advanced beyond 13. Every day, tomorrow is my 14th birthday. That’s my kind of humor.
It ain’t easy being cheesy!
School is cool. That’s why it rhymes.
Hollywood is a bit of a publicity game where it’s constantly trying to portray things and put up this image and I was not interested in that.
Art was always my thing. I had an art scholarship before I had a football scholarship. I’m a left-handed, right-brained, painting-drawing guy. That was always my skill.
When I was in the NFL, whenever I got cut from a team I would do paintings of the players, they would pay me $4,000 to $5,000 to do their painting of their family, and that’s how I survived until another team picked me up.
The big thing with all parents is they just want to be left alone. I want no demands. That’s the best gift for Father’s Day, just leave them alone.
I was a sports nut. I stayed after school probably three hours every day – from fall, to winter, to spring. I went from football to basketball to track and it started all over again. I loved all of it. I just loved being an athlete and all that it entailed. It really accounts for who I am.
I would always be painting and drawing. If I was stuck at home, I was in the basement working on a painting.
It’s great to be strong but strength is nothing without having compassion.
As a parent you walk around trying to be perfect, but you don’t have to be perfect. That’s the key. You just have to be faithful, and when I say faithful I mean you have to give your all.
I want to be a man who mixes strengths and compassion. That’s my magic elixir, so to speak.
Trying to be cool is the easiest path to mediocrity.
