“I am capable of holding the quote-unquote ‘title’ of leading man. Leading man just means people want to see you and assume that you can hold a film, carry a movie.”

I love that I can tell the truth and have people laugh at it.

I don’t want enemies. I want friends, and I want them in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and loving whoever they want to.

My goal is to make everyone and anyone a Kevin Hart fan.

Any hand that I’ve shaken, any person that I met when I was Joe Blow, now that I’m this guy Kevin Hart, has come back. That’s why I treat everybody with respect. I’m always a nice pleasant guy to meet because when they come back to you, they remember.

People see me on the street, and they point to me, and they’re like, ‘Hey! All right, all right, all right!’

I want to be respected as a guy who knows what he’s talking about. And that, to me, holds more weight than anything else.

I love diversity.

I was probably tall as a child, but I just stopped growing.

When you’re doing a film and the majority of the film is cast black, for me, it’s most important to get people to view those movies as just movies, as just good movies.

I got a dog with a Napoleon complex. I have a Napoleon complex. We’re small. Anything big that we feel is threatening us, we want to fight. We’re not a pushover.

I don’t change or cater my actions to fit my surroundings. I’m myself 24/7. People appreciate that.

The original ‘About Last Night’ was phenomenal.

My dad was never married. He was kind of a rolling stone. But he was never disrespectful. At the same time, even though he had women in his life when I was a kid, there wasn’t any consistency.

This younger generation that’s around, that’s tweeting, Facebooking and Vine-ing, the fans appreciate that because they feel like they can get to you.

A reputation as a hard worker is a good reputation to have.

You have black people, white people, Chinese people, Hispanic people; we’re all brought up differently.’

By an image we hold on to our lost treasures, but it is the wrenching loss that forms the image, composes, binds the bouquet.

Others hold that each decision must be considered and committed to, that without commitment there is chaos. Such people are content to live in contradictory worlds, so long as they know the reason for each.

Everything will change when your desire to move on exceeds your desire to hold on.

If a person holds no ambitions in this world, he suffers unknowingly.

We don’t mean that it’s a belief that someone holds.

The world is moving faster and faster, but where are we going?I think one of the reasons why things are getting blurry is because there is not much meaning.

This gets us back to that most pressing of human questions: why do people worry so much about other people’s holding beliefs other than their own?

If a person holds ambitions, he suffers knowingly, but very slowly.
