“My philosophy is, it’s always very rewarding when you can make an audience laugh. I don’t mind making fun of myself. I like self-deprecating comedy. But I’d like you to laugh with me occasionally, too.”

It’s nice to be important but it’s even more important to be nice. I grew up in a world where there were a lot of big physical guys…and woman so it’s always important to be nice to me.

Think back 5 years ago. Think of where you’re at today. Think ahead 5 years and what you want to accomplish. Be Unstoppable.

Being a true bad ass has no weight or gender requirement – just 100% commitment to greatness.

If you’ve ever been hungry, you can never be full.

All successes begin with Self-Discipline. It starts with you.

I liked his ability to deal with a lot of the negativity that surrounded him. Even though he was in a world that he didn’t want to be in, he still saw the bigger picture.

The money is of no concern to me, whatsoever. I started out with nothing.

It doesn’t matter what you think!

As you step every day and we’re going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.

I’ve learned over the years that when it comes to success, consistency is key. Consistent hard work that we may not like doing today, but for a payoff we’ll love tomorrow. Earn it. Enjoy it.

Not only do I think being nice and kind is easy but being kind, in my opinion, is important.

You don’t need directions, just point yourself to the top and go!

Success isn’t always about ‘greatness’. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.

It’s easy to be a bad ass, it’s easy to act like a bad ass, easy to act like a tough guy, it’s easy to be a diva, and it’s easy to be self absorbed. The list goes on and on but to me, I always just find it more important to be nice and kind.

When you walk up to opportunities door, don’t knock it, Kick that B*tch in, smile and introduce yourself

I was brought up as an only child, and we were very close. But when I was 14, we got evicted. We came home to a padlock, and I looked up at my mom and she was crying, and there was nothing to do.

Every time I reach a new audience, that means I’m doing something right.

If it’s a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.

In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don’t want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.

I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.

Cricketers have to perform in front of millions, and there are no retakes. If then you become a hero, you deserve all the accolades coming your way.

I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.

I always take the audience into account.

Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
