Theres this little box that African-American actors have to work in, in the first place, and I was able to rise above that box.

Every now and then, you crash and burn, but thats part of it.

Every bad decision I've made has been based on money. I grew up in the projects and you don't turn down money there. You take it, because you never know when it's all going to end. I made Cop III because they offered me $15 million. That $15 million was worth having Roger Ebert's thumb up my ass.
