If you won't believe in yourself, who will?

My life has taught me to be more curious than afraid.

Sometimes i wish that I was a man so I could tell haters to 'blow me.

It doesn't have to be the Grand Canyon, it could be a city street, it could be the face of another human being - Everything is full of wonder.

I don't want to get away with murder! I'd have to live with that for the rest of my life. I would never want to live with killing somebody.

Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen, you had a busy day today.

You can be whatever you want to be. Don't let discouragement take you down.

The first thing a genius needs is to breath free air.

A goal without a date is just a dream.

When people meet me in person, they're usually surprised at how petite I am because there's just [an] idea that because I'm black I just look a certain way.

The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.

I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.
