“Love is an incredible thing but we don’t know love like we should. Unconditional love we don’t know it because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them.”

Miscommunication leads to complication.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

A friend once said, and I found to be true,That everyday people, they lie to God too, So what makes you think, that they won’t lie to you.

Reality is easy. It’s deception that’s the hard work.

We don’t want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny.

God teaches me about reality, so when he tells me to do something, I do, because I’m led to.

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.

The only help I need to live, is unprofessional. The only wealth I have to give, is not material. And if you need much more than that, I’m not available.

Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.

Think black love, think universal love. Just think love.

I believe God will make a way.

I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That’s too much work.

I get out, I get out of all your boxes.

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.

Be honest, brutally honest. That is what’s going to maintain relationships.

I’m a very stimulated person.

To measure a leader, put a tape around his heart, not his head.

Politics without principles, Education without character, Science without humanity, and Commerce without morality are not only useless, but also positively dangerous.

A gardener who cultivates his own garden with his own hands, unites in his own person the three different characters, of landlord, farmer, and labourer. His produce, therefore, should pay him the rent of the first, the profit of the second, and the wages of the third.

The characters I portray are an extension of what I’ve seen, heard, or read, and so what you see in my films are how I understand life.

People know me through my characters. I don’t think they have any idea about the individual that I am. They know I am a director’s son, and I am married to an actress.

Some say knowledge is power, but that is not true. Character is power.

Your religion is what you do when the sermon is over.
