Quote

My wife Kimora once told me while we were watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that it's a vegetarian movie because the way that the woman was screaming, Aaaahhh, and trying to run away is how every animal you eat reacted at the slaughterhouse.

There was a moment when I was watching Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in 'Badboys' that I felt, you know, inspired. I don't know if I was proud, because so many people do the work. Everyone's part of a team that develops over the years and gives people chances. There have been some good moments watching people develop.
