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

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.

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.

Addiction is a health issue, not a social issue, not a crime, not a legal issue.

It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes. It takes more gut and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.

I'm a Canadian. Outside Canada I carry the flag. Canadian nationalism isn't as insidious as American nationalism, though. It's good natured. It's all about maple syrup, not war.

Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.

I love all people, whatever race they are.

And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.

In the flesh rather than the work of the Spirit, it is easy to say we are showing holiness and it only be egotistic pride and hardness.

Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.

The world is full of genies waiting to grant your wishes.

I never look back, I look forward.

The critics - how come you never see any of them on TV?
