I think my thing is I grew up in the ghetto, and I was able to get a second chance. That's what I'm trying to tell kids.

I think you've got good people and bad people in everything you do. If you start making a big deal of it, then it's a problem. It's like in life. We've got bad doctors and lawyers. We've got bad priests! We don't target every priest and say he's bad. You have to go to church and you have to go see some doctors. Some people have to be good.

I think everybody has a good and bad side.

Television is not like making records. I wanna tell all you kids, do not try this at home, 'cause it's hard. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of practice, and a lot of different takes.

I've earned some decent money, and bragging rights, and boxed on a Floyd Mayweather undercard in Vegas... but it's a fraction of what I set out to do.

Our industry has invested so much money in technology that perhaps it's time to invest in talent, in people.

When we say a show is successful, it's because, relative to the investment, it's successful, relative to how else we would have spent that money on licensing something else, does this creation - did it attract the audience that it was built for.

The U.K. needs to diversify - to become the technological as well as the financial centre of Europe.
