BORIS KODJOEI love the fact that we, as black people, carry our faith with us. We share it and embrace it and love it and talk about it because we talk about everything else and why not that and that was the first impression that I had that really touched me.
BORIS KODJOEI know I can act and it doesn’t matter where you come from.
BORIS KODJOEAs part of my relationship with my wife and my daughter, and we share everything and talk about everything.
BORIS KODJOEIt’s a tremendous honor to be asked to carry a show.
BORIS KODJOEWe are willing to weather the storm of multiple failures to achieve a goal. We’re so convinced in the destination that we are able to let go of the reins and give it to God.
BORIS KODJOEI don’t care if you are religious or not and I think the message is that at the end of the day, everybody has to mature and everybody has to heal and mend their own injuries, emotional injuries, on their own pace.
BORIS KODJOEI was looking to show people I could act. I was looking for something that would take me away from the whole hunk riding off into the sunset thing that people wanted me to play after Brown Sugar.
BORIS KODJOEYou can be very independent, but admit to wanting somebody close to you and that’s what me and my wife have. We don’t need each other but we want to be with each other and I think it’s important to educate the kids with that.
BORIS KODJOEWhen I set goals, they’re more tangible than becoming famous. You don’t build a company or a foundation for fame.
BORIS KODJOEEverybody goes through obstacles and problems and issues and turn their backs on people that we are fond of and love just because we hurt; and everybody goes through that.
BORIS KODJOEI came to America because of a tennis scholarship. I really wanted to get away because I was really frustrated about my injury so my mother said, “Go to America for four months and just open your eyes and see that there’s more things than tennis.” That’s what happened.
BORIS KODJOEI’m the same person. I don’t put on a face. I’m the same guy every time you see me.
BORIS KODJOEI was a professional tennis player in my teens. I played mostly in Europe. I was top 10 in the world in juniors, and then I messed up my back. I had three herniated discs and that put a stop to it.
BORIS KODJOEI had to study acting to basically educate myself.
BORIS KODJOEMy love for you is past the mind, beyond my heart, and into my soul.
