For me it's really tough because you have to go to that place where you really, really don't want to go to or revisit. After the first movie, when I was crying at the altar, whenever I would think about it, I would get chills for months after the first "Best Man" because I had to go to that place. And then, here we are with this one, and we are going to that place again. It's just extremely emotional to just have to keep revisiting it, but it can also be therapeutic.
Sometimes the stereotypes that a lot of people have are of black men in jail or who don't take care of their kids, so I think it's always important to have that.
A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.
And I think from a male perspective, we have men talking about their feelings and it being okay.
I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.
You can become really pigeon-holed in this industry.
Nah, I'm not a prima donna, but I just don't like being cold and wet.
I'm not going to take my shirt off in every movie.
I can't say that we went through the academy because we weren't being tested and we knew we had a job, but we did set some fires and put them out.
I don't have to be in charge of every single angle, every single word, should he wear the blue shirt or the red shirt, or the light red shirt?
I felt it was important to convey to people, especially younger people, that everything on the surface is not always what it seems.
There are a lot of people in this business that don't work consistently.
This film is what it is. It's a campy thriller horror movie where you go and have fun. With these types of films, you can't take it too seriously. They are what they are.
This industry is very make-believe and you caught in a false sense of what reality is.
