I like to take credit for the work that I have done.
You have to be up-front from the very beginning about what your expectations of the other person are, and you can't make any promises you don't intend to keep.
We should all have the opportunity to at least get a basic education and feel that you are worthy of something in life.
I am glad I get to do it again.
I am hoping to do the same dunks I did last year. Hopefully I will perfect them.
I'm always trying to find the next comedian that just gives me something a little funny to combine with all of the depressing news that I'm processing.
Staying true to our goals, Question Bridge as a company and as a project is not singularly about black males. One of the things I'm so excited about Question Bridge is that my vision goes far beyond black males.
I thought that if acting didn't work out, I'd have done law school or medical school: probably law to be honest.
I was a little off technically today (in the high jump). I had the long jump beforehand and my legs kind of took a little bit out of them long-jumping. I just came out and wanted to have fun today.
I think it helps that I have been there. I won't have the jitters I had last year.
I always find that really interesting, you know, when I get to see characters that I love in TV and film and theater around their family.
It was very important to me to be with a woman who is better than me at some things. You want someone who brings new, interesting things into your life.
I'm very grateful and fully aware that 90 percent of actors are not working. Going from public school teacher to a show like 'Grey's Anatomy', I love what I do.
I'm an athletic junkie - I play in all the celebrity all-star games, and I've become buddies with a bunch of athletes.
