Boxing kept me out of the streets, by giving me something to do. And it gave me a father figure in the coach that was there for me. I just reiterated what my mother was trying to teach me about focusing and getting my life together.

Fatherhood means a great deal to me. I love it. To me, there aint nothing better, because your kids keep it real with you. When you think things are bad, you look at them and they show you how things could be all right, and it's all worth it.

God inspired me, because I was blessed with the knowledge that I wanted to do this. And my mother supported it. She said, 'Whatever it is you want to do. If you believe acting or comedy is what you really want to do, I can only tell you it's not easy, it's very hard, but I'll support you.' Her supporting me enabled me to move forward.

I dont really judge. To each his own. You like what you like. If you want someone whos big-boned and you like that, aint nothing wrong with having a little extra meat on there. If you like them thin-boned, then thats okay too.

Nobodys ever challenged me and tapped into what I can do. I aint played a villain which I believe I can do and do real well. There hasnt been any director who has been able to challenge me to go there.
