As a child, I watched 'Dallas' and that was my vision for my life for as long as I could remember.

I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented.

I had a hit single on the radio for 30 days before I graduated from high school. And that's dangerous.

Goofy was the word that was used most often by my sisters because I've been this tall ever since I was 12 years old.

I would have absolutely messed up 'The Matrix'.

A rapper is about being completely true to yourself. Being an actor is about changing who you are.

Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.

I was raised in a Baptist household, went to a Catholic church, lived in a Jewish neighborhood, and had the biggest crush on the Muslim girls from one neighborhood over.

In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.

I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.
