To me the work is so much more interesting, the parts that don’t require you just to take your shirt off.

Oh yeah, I’m a huge romance fan. And some women like action.

I’m getting to the point where they see me as a good actor, rather than just a good guy who can act.

I didn’t pursue acting to become famous. I was actually just trying to make a living.

I enjoy what I do, but it’s more challenging than people think.

I’ve been in a situation where I was after the money.

I think that Mos Def is the best actor, but when you talk about rappers in films, I don’t really think the quality of the acting is most important because most rappers are put in movies because of the personality and people want to see that.

I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that’s more challenging.

A lot of people come to quote-unquote Hollywood thinking that all they just have to be different or do something outlandish or have a huge personality to become a star. But I think that if you just focus on the craft, you’ll have a better chance at longevity.

99% of the people in the world would say there’s something that they’d like to change about their lives, because nothing’s perfect, and nobody’s perfect. I suppose I could look at the glass half-empty instead of as half-full.
