I was in The Wire for three years, and I left at the highlight of that.

Waking up in TRUTH is so much better than living in a lie.

What an honor it was to step into the shoes of Nelson Mandela and portray a man who defied odds, broke down barriers, and championed human rights before the eyes of the world.

I want to go to Sierra Leone with something - whether it's some sort of contribution to healthcare, or to the entertainment industry. My cousin is a nurse; we are talking about opening a clinic.

I'm never shaken or stirred.

My Father always told me that a fool at 40 is a fool for life.

I was always a real athletic kid. Then when I got older, I just figured it was part of life to keep training.

The less I talk about being black, the better.

I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.

I knew that if I wanted to be all I could be, I would have to go to the US. It took three years to get the accent right.

I'm tactile, very tactile. A woman who has really nice, looked-after skin is such a turn-on for me. It's always sexy.

We read to know we're not alone.

Every day, I read books on philosophy and science fiction and human consciousness.

I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.

Money always changes the game, when you let a dollar come between you and your friends, your cohorts.

For me, the process of writing a novel happens mostly in your head before you actually start writing.

Money is emphasized in Scripture simply because our temptation to love it is inexplicably powerful.

I used to want to be a backup singer. Not a lead singer, because I really can't sing.

Joy comes form knowing God loves me, knows who I am and where I'm going ... that my future is secure as I rest in Him.

Some felt I'm not academically qualified, and they're right.
