My dad was a great athlete growing up, and he could never fulfill his dreams of playing professional baseball.

I know that throughout my career, I haven't always played great games.

Throughout my career, I've always loved hitting deep shots over the top. A lot of times, those plays just come to you. You don't want to force it.

I've had the acting bug since I was, like, five. But growing up, I saw how people treated me differently when they knew who my father was, even the stuff I did on the field. Sometimes I'd rush for 100 yards, and the headline would be, 'Denzel's son runs for 100 yards.' That's where the suppression of that bug came from.

My father was incredible: a longshoreman; my mother was a secretary. Very 'go to work' people. That's how I saw things.

We need a straitjacket around Congress when it comes to spending so that they are forced to do what 49 states are required to do and what every family business and every family is required to do, and that's live within their means.
