Quotes

“When I turned 28, everything clicked. I even got way better in bed.”

“I love being black in America, and especially being black in Hollywood.”

“People laugh, but if I set my mind to it, within the next 15 years I would be president.”

“My grandmother once told me, don’t let failure go to your heart and don’t let success go to your head.”

“I really believe that a man and a woman together, raising a family, is the purest form of happiness we can experience.”

“Being famous and broke is a shitty combination because you’re still famous and people recognize you, but they recognize you while you’re sitting next to them on the bus.”

“Give me a problem, I’ll give you a solution. I just love living. That’s a feeling you can’t fake. I’m glad every single day. Then, I think that even the camera can feel that I’m a happy man.”

“If I weren’t a musician or actor, I’d be a computer engineer. I was always good at math. I probably would have been the guy who invented the remote control if I’d been around then.”

“If you’re not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I’d rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.”

“I was trying so hard. I would memorize the entire script, then I’d be lipping everybody’s lines while they were talking. When I watch those episodes, it’s disgusting. My performances were horrible.”

“It’s a whole different thing being an actor. A rapper is about being completely true to yourself. Being an actor is about changing who you are. You make yourself a different person. You become a different person.”
