I think you realize how much you need to have people that you love. It's not as much about them loving you - it's about you needing to love people.
I just think people have been very gracious and welcoming me on set, and even off set.
I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don't really say that I'm an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles.
People have said, 'You don't need to do any more biopics. You don't need to play any more real people.' I don't agree with that.
I know that baseball players have certain rituals or habits that they develop, because sometimes it becomes somewhat superstitious if they get on a streak and want to do the same thing over and over again.
I'm the kind of guy who comes home and checks scores for everything. I'm a sports fan in general, so I pretty much keep up with who's ahead in a division and everything that's going on.
As an African-American actor, a lot of our stories haven't been told.
As a director, it is important to understand the actor's process.
Sometimes when you're acting, you only need a little bit of something to sort of channel or, you know, transport into a place.
The best advice about getting older? Just be thankful you're not dead!
I might have had too many friends in my twenties. I probably said yes too much, and then I had to learn how to say no. How to get away in order to work on stuff.
There's nothing more stressful than your stomach growling.
You might have one thing in your head, but the things you're doing don't really lead down the right road, necessarily. When you're young, you don't want to hear that. You think you can do everything, be all things.
Girls like dudes that are overweight. I know too many women who say, "I like you now that you've got a little thicker," and I don't really know any woman that says, "I like you now that you've got bald."
