Ive had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

I want to see more people of different backgrounds being cast in films. I want to see people from inner cities being discovered, because that's where you find some really brilliant artists.

I remember my manager telling me, 'Be myself, be humble, keep rooted, keep God first'. Those words were very helpful.

It's amazing that people still feel, 'Oh my gosh, it's a black guy.' We've been here for a long time; let's get used to it. Let's get used to other cultures.

My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.

Let's get used to other cultures. Portray the world for what it is and you will find truth.

Portray the world for what it is, and you will find truth.

I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. I love being from there, you don't appreciate it until you go out.

Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.

Not everybody has that mentality and that's fine, but once Robert Redford leaves this earth - later rather than sooner - his legacy will go on.

I like my women very green; you know, eco-friendly.

If we are not growing together, then we should not stay together.

Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.

I distrust a man that says when. If he's got to be careful not to drink to much it's because he's not to be trusted when he does.

If fathers aren't growing up, I would challenge them to want to be a father that is present in the home, so that their kids have that identity.

Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.

Truth offends everyone outside its definitions. But the irony of truth is that the greater its potential for offense, the greater its potential for giving hope.

Every man's censure is first moulded in his own nature.

I really don't think records should be made in the manner where you sit and write, and when you're finished writing, you start recording. That just seems conventional and old-fashioned to me.

If I got involved with the chat rooms and Facebook and everything - I would probably never leave. That's why I don't do it. I literally don't do it. At all.

Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.
