There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.

You never see girls running after engineers.

If I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I'm going to do that.

I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.

I got a job as soon as I graduated from school. I always wanted to bartend because I love listening to people and how awful their lives are.

If you want to buy a good movie, you'll buy a good movie. If you don't want to buy a good movie, you'll buy a 'Twilight' movie.

Acting is the only medium were people think they can just stand up and do it because they can say lines, but that is not so much the case. You have to study styles and techniques.

I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.

Every time I get mad, I grab my hammer and make a bookshelf or something.

If everyone invested in the neighborhood they lived in, the United States would be a magical place.

People don't come to Marvel movies for personal life subplots, no.

In real life nothing means anything. Stuff happens and there just is no structure.

A chart of numbers that would put an actuary to sleep can be made to dance if you put it on one side of a card and Bombo Rivera's picture on the other.

All mentally well-balanced persons know that we are not governed by the true principals of social justice when we make the main aim of our social existence the gaining of money.

Hide your gold, your faith and the reason of you journey.

Of course, actors look forward to the day when they can do a big courtroom scene.

I willingly allow that money does not guarantee happiness; but it must also be allowed that it makes happiness a great deal easier to achieve.

Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty, and don't let them drag you into the mud.

Had there not been a Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. She found him when he was a young lawyer and really a bumpkin. No one knew of him, but she recognized his brilliance.

On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.

Rise above principle and do what is right.
