The difference with Cleveland is that the racial tension was not a casual taste of it. It was outlandish.

I am an engineer, but what I find important and necessary is that you just learn things as you go along.

In every person we meet there's this little piece of God in them and that's who you talk to. And that's the only person that you allow to talk to you. When something else is speaking, you walk away from that. If it's not good, if it's not love, you walk away from it.

Sometimes the only way to make palatable that which is appalling and apprehensive is to season it with some humor.

And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film, gain the benefit of my education, and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.
