I got picked on a lot as a kid.

CHILDHOOD IS THAT STATE WHICH ENDS THE MOMENT A PUDDLE IS FIRST VIEWED AS AN OBSTACLE INSTEAD OF AN OPPORTUNITY

I use my job to engage empathy and compassion for people society might stereotype or ostricise.

Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.

No one wakes up one day and decides they want to become a drug dealer or they want to be a stick-up kid. Those decisions are made after a series of events have happened in one's life.

I haven't had a problem with being typecast, but if I was only getting one type of role, I wouldn't mind. What I'm worried about is not working.

Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.

I do happen to love Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't know if I want to walk down to the store in my pajamas for them. But I do love them.

You know, Tupac is very near and dear to my heart. He started my career as an actor.

Until one has some kind of professional relationship with books, one does not discover how bad the majority of them are.

As oil will find its way into crevices where water cannot penetrate, so song will find its way where speech can no longer enter.

I choose Hosea. Oh, there's no book of the Bible which more beautifully and more painfully demonstrates how very much God loves us.

To live by a large river is to be kept in the heart of things.

I’ve been to the Mountaintop

There can be no excess to love, none to knowledge, none to beauty.

I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
