J. C. Watts

Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.

In addition, there is one title I cherish a great deal more than Congressman and that is the title of... Dad.

I'm secure in who I am. I don't need the validation of those that would say, you have to be a certain thing in order to be accepted. I'm comfortable going against the grain if I need to.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

I have a theory. An audience doesn't need to get wrapped up in blackness every time they see a Negro actor. And a movie doesn't have to be about race just because there's a Negro in it.
