I believe there's a huge distinction between un macho and a real man. I don't think you have to be one to be another.

As a person of color, there's no getting around the reality of its responsibility.

Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it's romantic.

As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I'm not working, you'd better spend that time with someone important.

My sense of personal strength has always come from my family.

My family is like a sanctuary to me. I always turn to them for support and strength. I take comfort in knowing no matter which path I choose, my family stands behind me.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don't get to do in real life.

I come from a large family so you can count on the fact that I'm going to have more kids.

There is no length that is too great to go to in order to protect your child.

Your job as an actor is to stay employed.

In those glorious moments when someone sees, really sees, your art and bothers to tell you so, relish it!

The universe is infinite, and the experiences and opportunities available to us are likewise.

The sort of thinking at the time was, 'Well, we're giving you access to medical care which you wouldn't otherwise be able to get, so your payment is that we get to use you in research.'

Wolves never look more funny than when they have lost the scent and scrabble to find it again: they hop in the air; they run in circles, they plow up the ground with their noses . . . .

We’re all a little mad, my friend. Keeps life interesting.

There is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.

Guys don't adapt as well as women do to getting their heart broken for the first time. It's tragic.

To many a youth and many a maid, dancing in the chequer'd shade.

I'm scared of screwing up my kids.
