When an animal dies, it gives you the chance to love another animal. That's an insightful and profound way to look at it.

I make movies on gritty topics like crime, the underworld, and horror. I don't make movies with good-looking people in good-looking locales.

The more you shine, the more positively people start looking at you.

Who'd give up sunny California for the grey old Earls Court Road? I'm looking out at blue skies and the mountains and trees, and it's so beautiful.

I look at Boston-based companies all the time... There's certainly great companies in Boston. If the deal makes sense on the merit of the deal itself, we'll go and do the deal.

You know, nothing comes free. If you want to chase fame, then fame has a price. You can't get convenient fame. You can't say, 'Hey! I want only the good things and for the bad things I do, look away.' So, if you crave for the spotlight, you pay for the spotlight.

Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.

I think it's wrong the way they criminalize herb. There are many more uses than just smoking. Beneficial to mankind.

When you look at the artists who have come up through 'Billboard' over the years, it's incredible.

I think what people are looking for right now is not the kind of pizzazz and pop that perhaps we thought we got in 2008. Certainly, President Obama offered that. What they want now is someone who can work closely with Congress and get things done.

It takes a lot of effort to look this mediocre.

I think I'm prouder of 'The Victim' than anything else, just because, if nothing else, it doesn't look silly, it doesn't look stupid. It holds up. It's fun. A lot of people have enjoyed it, and I'm real happy about it.

I've never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What's wrong with that?

Being a director, I've had the privilege of heading a PS3 launch title. Looking back, I think the PS4 has made the development cycle much easier.

It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.

I joke that my niche in Hollywood has been naked foreigners.

My whole thing is I want to affect history in a positive way. I want the timeline to be, 100 years from now, when we look back, it's going to be like, the world was like this, and then Shameik Moore hit the world, and everything changed for the better. It was a new light. Something special.

You have to look yourself in the eye and ask, 'Who are you?' It can't be all about work.

It was like a roller coaster at UCF, with highs and lows, but overall, it was a good ride. You look at the stadium and see 'National Champions.' It doesn't get any better than that.

Men are allowed to age. Men are allowed to gain weight. Men are allowed to be quirky looking.
