Growing up I didn't watch movies.

It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at.

I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.

My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.

I wasn't allowed to go to movies when I was kid my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.

If I am a cup maker, I'm interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.
