daddy dent home saw three time work
The whole time I was on 'Grey's,' I'm still reconciling myself to my 11-year-old son, because he never saw me during that time. By the time he got up, he'd see a dent in his pillow, but by the time I got home, he was already asleep. So for three years, he had a daddy that he never saw because I had to work.

I'm a human being first and foremost, and I have something to say that I think is worthwhile. 'Blue Caprice' is just the second installment of so much more coming.

The average person in Hollywood just assumes that if you're on a hit TV show, then that's the first thing you've ever done.

I've been so incredibly blessed. I've worked with some of the greatest professionals in town. I stood at the Golden Globes.

I love Facebook. I could brush my teeth with Facebook.
bring life negative term
I hate the term 'black' because it doesn't bring to life who we are as a people. The term 'black' has more negative synonyms than the term white.

I didn't know what gay was until I lived in New York for 10 years. You know, I was just underexposed in that regard.

Not just art for art's sake, but I want to have films out there that will provoke authentic, holistic conversations about the human condition. And not provide the easy answers, but put it out there.

I only became an actor to get your attention, to challenge the archetype of an African American male; I can't be anything else in this lifetime than an African American man.

Whatever I'm throwing out there in my work, you either catch that detail because you're ready to catch it, but if you're not, that's OK - you're still being entertained.

I've written a book; I've become a better husband and father because I'm home every day. My connection to the Hollywood world has only been through Facebook.
came four lee people spike steven work worked
I would still work with Mel Gibson! He's talented, man! Come on, he came up with 'Apocalypto,' man! I want to work with this guy. I've worked with Steven Seagal. He's out of his mind. I mean, I've worked with Spike Lee for four films. I've worked with some people that you can say are right there teetering between genius and madness.
bigots politely views
It's, like, bigots want to embrace me, and I politely take their arms from around my neck. I don't share their views - never have.
I am not homophobic - in no way, shape or form.
