Most of the time when you see a movie, the best character in the movie is not "the guy," it's the guy next to the guy.

I love what I do. If I have the opportunity to do what I do with people I admire, it's 10 times better.

Money always changes the game, when you let a dollar come between you and your friends, your cohorts.

So I feel like success is opportunity plus preparation, so work begets work, and as long as you're prepared it's going to continue to come your way.

The stage is my first love.

There was this rapper from New Orleans, Mystikal, who when I hear his music, I hear myself. Whenever I wanna get hyped, I put on Mystikal.

I'm a poet. I'm just a renaissance man in my heart. I can build shelves and I can write poetry.
order law done
With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.
fun opportunity interesting
Do you want to be an actor, or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So, if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I'm going to do that.

Everybody knows when you've got a role in a Spike Lee movie, you're gonna blow up. But I happen to be the only person who's had the lead in the two Spike Lee movies nobody saw.

I'm happy to be an Avenger!

I did this movie with Spike Lee called 'Sucker Free City,' and that would have to be my favorite role by far. It was just so much fun to work with Spike and shoot in San Francisco.
problem enjoy stanley
I enjoy where I am and I don't have a problem with being Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Don Cheadle, or Jeffrey Wright. They're not the lead of every movie they're in, but every time you see them they're really good.
