Gettin' jiggy wit it is, like, the next level of cool. It's cool to the eighth power. Some people are fly, some people are kind of hot. But when you are the jiggiest, when you exude jiggy-essence, it's the acme of cool.
Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What's the point of being realistic? I'm going to do it. It's done. It's already done. The second I decide it's done, it's already done.
You play a part in every aspect of your life going the way you want or not going the way that you want. It has very little to do with other people.
My grandmother used to always say, 'People need to be worth something.'
I've always been a jokester. The things I got in trouble for, when I was little, was always about making a joke or setting up a prank or being silly when I should be paying attention.
I like to look good, but I like my body to function well more than anything. For me, it's as spiritual and intellectual as it is physical. And emotional. I enjoy pushing myself.
Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.
Part of being an actor is almost self-hypnosis during those brief moments when the cameras are rolling. You want to actually believe you're Chris Gardner or Muhammad Ali.
I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.
We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.
Sometimes you have to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next.
The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.
Whatever you have is gonna die and you are gonna have to rebirth something new. You have to be willing to ride the waves.
I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want I believe I can create whatever I want to create.
