Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.

There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.

I always wanted to scuba dive. I used to scuba dive undercover like black Aquaman.

It was rough being dark. I got heat from my own people more than anyone else. I remember going to my mom and saying, 'Why am I so black?' And she said, 'Because I'm black. You just gotta always work harder than the average bear.'

My grandmother always told me how you start is how you finish.

I'm so black, I leave fingerprints on coal.
