Quotes
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | You take the quote from Samuel L. Jackson about how he'll never work with a rapper, and I can understand where he's coming from because he says rappers can't act. |
| 2 | Tom Arnold and I, we have a huge firefight scene on top of a German tank. I get to shoot 50 caliber rounds. We shoot a helicopter out of the sky. That's the only fight I'm in. |
| 3 | If they respect the craft and what we're doing and they bring something to the table and they work hard, I don't care what you do as your side job or as your day job. |
| 4 | I've gotten my butt kicked by the best. Jet Li beat me up the best, but Steven Segal can still kick a good butt. It's a different kind of kicking, though. |
| 5 | Glenn Close is a living icon. You look at the work, and I think it's wild, because she thinks some of her best work was in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and that's what I believe, as well. |
| 6 | It's a remake of a film called Infernal Affairs. It's a Hong Kong film, and if we come anywhere close to what they did in the original, we're going to have a hot property on our hands, because Infernal Affairs is a great piece. |
| 7 | Romeo Must Die (2000) was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor. |
| 8 | They gave us the freedom just to play and have fun. |
| 9 | You say you're a comedian, you always have to be on guard. |
| 10 | There isn't a switch that I turn on. I'm an actor. This is what I do. |
| 11 | Some of these guys... I've worked with Ice Cube, I think he's an immensely talented rapper and actor. |
| 12 | I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship. |
| 13 | My wife and I have always trusted each other, and I have to thank her strength. |
| 14 | I've worked with some actors who can't act. |
| 15 | I provide a little comic relief. |
| 16 | It's just a matter of me opening up the page and whatever is written on the page, that's what I'm here to do. |
| 17 | I ain't got nothing. I've got this watch, and these shoes, and that's about it. |
| 18 | I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion. |
| 19 | My choices were never wrong. |
| 20 | Comedy is second nature for me. |
| 21 | If you respect the art and you have some talent about you, I'm on your team. |
| 22 | Things are changing. I've been training since I was 9 years old to stretch my wings as an actor dramatically, but have never really been afforded the opportunity to show that. |
| 23 | More oftentimes than not, you're automatically guilty before innocent. |
| 24 | You can say what you want to about a rapper in a movie, but look at what Ice Cube has done. Ice Cube has created more opportunities for other actors to get jobs in this business than some actors have. |
| 25 | Everyone realized I was the innocent victim of a shakedown. |
| 26 | It's sort of an action flick. You can't be that funny trying to steal diamonds. |
| 27 | I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house. |
| 28 | Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio) couldn't deliver Mr. Martin Scorsese his Oscar with The Aviator (2004), but I will go on record to say I will do so with The Departed (2006). |
| 29 | Be ready for when your time comes, you will have that window of opportunity, so seize the moment and capitalize on it. |
| 30 | Set your heights more than what you see around you, see beyond. |
| 31 | Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn't want to do. |
| 32 | (in 2006, about The Departed (2006)] Working with [Martin Scorsese] is a dream come true and we're just having a ball, Just how he commands a set . . . But we are staying true to the original film. We shot in New York for a couple of months, and then we've been in Boston the last three weeks, and then we're coming back to New York through the first week of September. So it's just a nice ride right now. |
