  • I've gotten my butt kicked by the best. Jet Li beat me up the best, but Steven Segal can still kick a good butt. It's a different kind of kicking, though.
  • I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship.
  • If they respect the craft and what we're doing and they bring something to the table and they work hard, I don't care what you do as your side job or as your day job.
  • It's just a matter of me opening up the page and whatever is written on the page, that's what I'm here to do.
  • Romeo Must Die was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor.
  • I ain't got nothing. I've got this watch, and these shoes, and that's about it.
  • I can say I was associated with the success of those other films that debuted at #1, I was in it as number 3 guy or number 4 guy.
  • Comedy is second nature for me.
  • Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn't want to do.
  • My wife and I have always trusted each other, and I have to thank her strength.
  • I've worked with some actors who can't act.
  • It's sort of an action flick. You can't be that funny trying to steal diamonds.
  • If you respect the art and you have some talent about you, I'm on your team.
  • I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house.
  • Glenn Close is a living icon. You look at the work, and I think it's wild, because she thinks some of her best work was in Dangerous Liaisons and that's what I believe as well.
  • More oftentimes than not, you're automatically guilty before innocent.
  • Everyone realized I was the innocent victim of a shakedown.
  • It's a remake of a film called Inferno Affairs. It's a Hong Kong film, and if we come anywhere close to what they did in the original, we're going to have a hot property on our hands, because Inferno Affairs is a great piece.
  • Leo couldn't deliver Mr. Martin Scorsese his Oscar with The Aviator, but I will go on record to say I will do so in The Departed.
  • Kangaroo Jack is the first movie I've been in where I was the star, or co-star, so this is my baby. This is the one that holds special meaning to me.
  • I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
  • My choices were never wrong.
  • Be ready for when your time comes, you will have that window of opportunity, so seize the moment and capitalise on it.
  • Set your heights more than what you see around you, see beyond.
