Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do - honesty but subtlety.

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.

What does God the Father look like? Although I've never seen Him, I believe - as with the Holy Spirit - He looks like Jesus looked on earth.

Just taking the time to look at children and understand them is what everyone needs.

People are people the world over. Some are good, some bad, some greedy and some generous. Nations are like people and act the same way.

What is important is the future. After 40 years of creation, I continue. This is what I love.

Success is living up to your potential. That's all. Wake up with a smile and go after life... Live it, enjoy it, taste it, smell it, feel it.
