Growing up in a small town of two thousand people, there wasn't too many ways to get in trouble. But I found some. We got caught stealing green plums from this old lady's yard.

I've enjoyed so little success as a professional player.

I've always said, other than my dad, coaches had the greatest impact on me.

The best we ever did was 8-8. But my career was not as dreadful as people make it out to be. You don't see any scars on Archie Manning.

I can't point to anything that has been more responsible for my career than my training.

I don't read anything about my movies before or after I do films, or any part of show business. I think that keeps me in a kind of place where I can do the work that I need to do.

I came up in this industry at a time where you had to be a journalist. You had to break stories. You had to break news to elevate your career, to get to a certain point and a certain level in this business, before you even had the license to give your opinion, especially if you were a black man.

The industry is such - there is no guarantee that a show would work only because it is airing.
