kings wall school
When I was in high school, I read the whole thing about Don King and he had this quote that said, "Set yourself on fire and the world will pay to watch you burn." I thought that was the most amazing thing I'd ever heard and I wrote it on my wall.
jobs school people
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.
fun home school
At Juilliard, I couldn't afford to have fun. I went to school and stayed home.
art school kids
It's hard sometimes when you're in a regular high school, you just feel like the odd kid out. The great thing about going to an art school [is] it's kind of like it's all the odd kids. It's all the kids that don't fit in at their regular schools, because you're into something and excited about something that other kids really aren't into. When you go to art school, everybody's kind of on the same page.
school hard-work opportunity
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.
episode movies recognized
With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.
kings essence luther
I'm not Martin Luther King. I can't be Martin Luther King. The only thing I can do is present what I feel the essence of Martin Luther King is.
girl art dad
It's because the idea of what's cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what's cool is whether or not you've been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what's cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something - out-of-the-norm stuff.
thinking talking want
I think you can only be outgoing when the person you're talking to is outgoing. I can be outgoing if I want to be, if you meet me halfway.
pride despair depth
Even though homelessness reaches into the depths of despair, there's also a pride and beauty in it, as well.
guy hollywood fingers
Hollywood's a business, and until someone puts their finger on you and decides you're the guy who's going to carry that movie, it's not going to happen.
real goal nuance
Playing somebody who's real, you can bring all kind of nuances and things to him that you get from source material and things like that, but the more popular or known the person is, the more impossible it is. To get it right, that is the goal.
people
Not too many people can say they love what they do and they really like the people they work with.
believe men people
I'm a firm believe that a man looks his best in a suit and I feel like in the late 40's people just dressed up to do everything.
