Quotes

• “It's great to be Black in Hollywood. When a Black actor does something, it seems new and different just by virtue of the fact that he's Black.”
• “I feel like I could run for President. People often laugh, but if I set my mind to it, within the next 15 years I could be in the White House.”
• “Even Hitler didn't wake up going, "let me do the most evil thing I can do today." I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was "good." Stuff like that just needs reprogramming. … I wake up every day full of hope, positive that every day is going to be better than yesterday. And I'm looking to infect people with my positivity. I think I can start an epidemic.”
• “The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill, right? I will run. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, right, there’s two things. You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple, right?”
• “Aaaah. It's Rewind time. If I could controlled Rewind I would want Fortnite and Marques Brownlee.”
• “Keep my wife's name out [of] your fucking mouth!”
