I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents.

But that's really the case in pretty much any major city that you go to.

I never really loved school through junior high, but then I started running track my freshman year, and I was just like, 'Wow, this is cool!'

We know that's the bottom line: if money is made, the powers that be pay attention.

When you see all the suits in the room, everybody in the room has on suits, you know, the women, too. We're not wearing dresses and chiffon and we're not as fun as we used to be.

You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.

You don't know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don't have a child, you don't know what that is. But when you experience it, it is the most fulfilling ever.

When you remove the risk, you remove the challenge. When you remove the challenge, you wither on the vine.
