One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.

What it taught me was forgiveness. It taught me that when people present themselves in a certain way, there's probably some back story or issue or reason for the way that they are. It's not you. It's them. And a lot of times, its about something that's completely out of their control

I always say the time to worry about flying is when you're on the ground. If you don't trust the captain, don't go.

You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.

I worked with Sidney Lumet years ago, and we had a long rehearsal process, and he would tape out the entire set on the stage, so I stole that from him.

We've all had some level of injustice, whether 20 years in prison, or 20 minutes sitting in your car waiting for a police officer to determine your future.

I didn't want to audition the kids so much I just wanted to talk to them because I like seeing how they are because their mothers usually mess them up with practice. So, I'd rather talk to them and see how they respond. I just throw things at them and see how they can hit the ball back, and Saniyya Sidney was good.

When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.

My mother used to tell me: You gotta smile more. Because if you don't smile, the way you look at people, they'll think you're mad at them.

A film is just like a muffin. You make it. You put it on the table. One person might say, 'Oh, I don't like it.' One might say it's the best muffin ever made. One might say it's an awful muffin. It's hard for me to say. It's for me to make the muffin.

Talent comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work and develop it.

There's things that I can do as an actor that I couldn't do in any other form of life and I've got a strange personality. But film requires strange people, so I've got a nice comfy home.

As the filmmaker, yes, I have to look out for everybody. But I don't have to know everybody's approach.

I asked my mother I said, You divorced my dad, how did you decide? She said, I decided twelve years before he knew it. I was like wow I'm learning something new every day.

My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.

It's strictly business. If I loan you $25 million, I want my money back. I don't want to hear about the social impact. That's great for you, but now I'm $25 million in the hole, so next time you come to ask me.
