#Quote
1You start making movies and people start seeing when you go to places, and all of a sudden you are getting clothes for free and all of a sudden you are getting food for free.
2You go from movies where you are wearing nice clothes and you're trying to smell good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try.
3This film is what it is. It's a campy thriller horror movie where you go and have fun. With these types of films, you can't take it too seriously. They are what they are.
4Showtime has given new, young filmmakers - black, white, across the board - an opportunity to make films, as well as actors who want to cross over into directing.
5I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.
6I think that Mos Def is the best actor, but when you talk about rappers in films, I don't really think the quality of the acting is most important because most rappers are put in movies because of the personality and people want to see that.
7I hate being cold and I hate being wet and around 80% percent of this film I was cold and another 60% I was cold and wet, so it wasn't the best shoot for me.
8I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film.
9You have to be insane to direct.
10You can become really pigeon-holed in this industry.
11When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
12To me the work is so much more interesting, the parts that don't require you just to take your shirt off.
13This industry is very make-believe and you caught in a false sense of what reality is.
14There are a lot of people in this business that don't work consistently.
15Some people make a career out of doing one thing, but I wanted to diversify my body of work.
16Producing is easier, I can just be at the set overseeing the story.
17Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.
18Nah, I'm not a prima donna, but I just don't like being cold and wet.
19It's not always about the money.
20I've been in a situation where I was after the money.
21I'm not going to take my shirt off in every movie.
22I'm just happy to be working consistently.
23I'm getting to the point where they see me as a good actor, rather than just a good guy who can act.
24I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.
25I want viewers to relate to me on a different level, not just a sexual level.
26I want to tell stories for everyone, primarily.
27I think the best type of action movie combines a love story with the action.
28I enjoy what I do, but it's more challenging than people think.
29At one point, people thought that Eddie Murphy would only reach one sector of the audience, but now everyone sees everything Eddie Murphy does.
30And I think from a male perspective, we have men talking about their feelings and it being okay.
31Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
32It's hard when you see a scene where it's raining, and we have the rain machine, and you see it for 5 minutes, but that scene takes all day to shoot, and you do it with rain, and the dry off, and go back and do it again.
33I am just another fireman because the story focuses on Joaquin Phoenix's character, but I play Joaquin's close friend and I get burned up a little bit, but I don't die.
34A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.
