As we say in the hood, I'm a stoop kid.

CHILDHOOD IS THAT STATE WHICH ENDS THE MOMENT A PUDDLE IS FIRST VIEWED AS AN OBSTACLE INSTEAD OF AN OPPORTUNITY

I use my job to engage empathy and compassion for people society might stereotype or ostricise.

Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.

No one wakes up one day and decides they want to become a drug dealer or they want to be a stick-up kid. Those decisions are made after a series of events have happened in one's life.

I haven't had a problem with being typecast, but if I was only getting one type of role, I wouldn't mind. What I'm worried about is not working.

You know, my childhood was pretty colorful; I like to use the word turbulent.

Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.

I do happen to love Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't know if I want to walk down to the store in my pajamas for them. But I do love them.

You know, Tupac is very near and dear to my heart. He started my career as an actor.

I've been so lucky to have my mum and dad because they've worked to give my brother and I everything. We're not spoilt children.

Experiencing the present purely is being empty and hollow; you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall.

For me, reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. Imagination, producing new metaphors or revivifying old, is not the cause of truth, but its condition.

We are moving into a new world and the old negativity will be left behind. Through the law of cause and effect, we can change the world, one person at a time.

The only past which endures lies wordlessly within you.

Haters are just confused admirers because they can't figure out the reason why everyone loves you.

In 1978, I entered Tohoku University, into the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technology.

Zounds, Zounds, VI-I-IX!

I've screwed up and I've overcommitted and it's typical of me.

When you're pushed killing is as easy as breathing.
