My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted.
My parents were Christian.
I always want to know what's wrong with you, why you ain't smiling. That's just my character; I just love people and want to see people having a good time.
It's important, when you see darkness, to understand that there's light ahead of that, and I'm the living testimony of that, you dig?
It was important that I became successful. People say they do it for the love, and yes, you do it for the love, but you want to be successful
I come from a hut, from a hut I went to the projects, from the projects I went to a mansion so you out there you have ABSOLUTLY NO EXCUSE!
The reason why we're warriors is that we rise to the occasion; anyone that's felt like the system put them down, and then they rose to the occasion, they're a warrior. It's not about whether you come from the hood or you come from the suburbs, you know what I mean? It's about reality and life.
I think my leap into TV and movies and comics is in a way natural because I'm a visual storyteller. If you look at any one of my short stories or novels, they sort of unscroll cinematically. Every scene is concrete in my mind. I can walk around the room and pick things up. I can describe at length every feature on the character, though I might only supply a glimpse of this on the page. So if I'm writing color into that I'm also writing texture, I'm pushing the image more than anything else.
War is the only game in which both sides lose.
There is no virtue if there is no immortality.
Until you become a parent, you can't begin to discover your capacity for strength, love and fatigue.
