The boys of my people began very young to learn the ways of men and no one taught us we just learned by doing what we saw and we were warriors at a time when boys now are like girls.

I'm in prison. But my heart and mind is free. Gangsta haters on the streets are doing more time than me. They need 30 police escorts with them every time they walk down the street.

My two secrets to staying healthy: wash your hands all the time. And if you can't use Purell or one of the sanitizers. And the other is hot peppers. I eat a lot of hot peppers. I for some reason started doing that in 1992 and I swear by it.

Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.

I've done it all. I'm thankful and proud of what I've accomplished in my life. I hope to keep doing it.

I'm very thankful to be doing what I'm doing. I feel very blessed.

All I ever wanted really and continue to want out of life is to give 100 percent to whatever I'm doing and to be committed to whatever I'm doing and then let the results speak for themselves. Also to never take myself or people for granted and always be thankful and grateful to the people who helped me.

I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind of annoyed because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again.

If you try to bring 'teen drama ' you end up doing nothing but pouting.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies you're a teen idol by default.
