I'd like to see myself married with a child and hopefully still involved in the entertainment business as an actor who is also able to write a bit and direct some projects.

Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.

I'd like to work with any actress from whom I can learn-one who has had many experiences with many directors and is willing to share some of her knowledge with me.

Maybe part of loving is learning to let go.

I love to unwind and watch movies, especially those from the classic black-and-white era.

It's hard to sleep at night because I'm still wondering where my mother is.

I was never an ingénue at any point in my career. I was hoping that whatever I was bringing to the table, it wasn't some physical attribute that would change or fade over time.

Children leave. And parents stay behind. Still, some things are deeper than time and distance. And your father will always be your father. And he will always leave a light on for you.

It is unfortunate that the poor judgment shown by a small group of young actors has tarnished the reputation of every child who has ever appeared before a camera.

The only thing that frightens me a little is when I'm called Kevin rather than Fred, but that's how people have known me for so many years. So, I can't really blame them.

I think it is important to maintain a sense of self and confidence, not letting either falter for the sake of a particular part or project, no matter how great it might be.

The friends you make in college are friends you'll have for life, even if you don't talk for years at a time.

Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.

Life is a battle, so do not give up fighting.

Do not say the land ahead does not exist, simply because you cannot see it.

Do not rest, believer, until you have full assurance of your interest in Jesus.

Jump high and hard with intention and heart.

It's very difficult to get any movies done about Black heroes - Haitian or American - in Hollywood. The argument in Hollywood is that there is no market for those movies, and that is not true.

What we think out for ourselves forms channels in which other thoughts will flow.

God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.

I have seldom written a story, long or short, that I did not have to write and rewrite. There are single stories of mine that have taken me ten or twelve years to get written.
