given great warm
Hollywood has given me a great, warm hug.
people women
People of color and women are increasingly being shown on-screen. For things to be whitewashed just doesn't make sense.
areas chip shave underneath
My stormtrooper suit would chip underneath the armpits and in between the thighs. So they had to do a lot of editing for my costume and shave some areas down.
alpha biggest life movies rest urban
My biggest challenge is to not do urban movies for the rest of my life, those alpha hoodies.
good
You know, we all can do bad, and we all can do good.
culture urban
You know, urban culture is fun; it's lovely.
bigger cast force great time
I think 'Star Wars' always has to be bigger and bigger and better every time, and there's a great cast on 'The Force Awakens.' It's ground-breaking.
hard-work blessing awards
Guys, I haven't been doing this for a long time, it's a fluke! I'm gonna share this BAFTA award with all the young dreamers who are determined, who are hard working, who are quite frankly amazing. This is also for you. Blessings for your path and God bless.
goes-on earth legacy
Not everybody has that mentality and that's fine, but once Robert Redford leaves this earth - later rather than sooner - his legacy will go on.
thinking thank-god way
I think what Robert Redford established is amazing; thank god for Robert Redford. He's set an amazing example with Sundance and I hope to follow that in my own way.
other-cultures long people
It's amazing that people still feel, 'Oh my gosh, it's a black guy.' We've been here for a long time; let's get used to it. Let's get used to other cultures.
reality giving people
Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.
dad names careers
Acting careers dont come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all.
love-is cities appreciate
I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. I love being from there, you don't appreciate it until you go out.
