1. On race, "It's great to be black in Hollywood. When a black actor does something, it seems new and different just by virtue of the fact that he's black.”
2. "Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”
3. On love, "We all want to be in love and find that person who is going to love us no matter how our feet smell, no matter how angry we get one day, no matter the things we say that we don't mean.”
4. "If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.”
5. "The first step is you have to say that you can.”
6. "I was raised in a Baptist household, went to a Catholic church, lived in a Jewish neighborhood, and had the biggest crush on the Muslim girls from one neighborhood over.”
7. "In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.”
8. On education system, "Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.”
9. "I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.”
10. "A rapper is about being completely true to yourself. Being an actor is about changing who you are.”
11. On past, "When I was growing up, I installed refrigerators in supermarkets. My father was an electrical engineer.”
