“Denzel's quality, I think, is his faith. You have all the action in yo...” — Derek Luke Quote

“Denzel's quality, I think, is his faith. You have all the action in your head and you have to believe in it and just do it. That's what he does and that's what he taught me to do.”

“Hip-hop was my first audience - I would rap in the mirror, walk down the street and listen to my Walkman.”

“In my heart of hearts I believe I was made to entertain.”

“Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.”

“I do find violence entertaining, but that doesn't make me a bad person. I grew up watching all these action films when I was a kid. My dad would bring back 'Rambo' and whatever, and we'd watch it together. It's not affected me in any way other than I just appreciate the entertainment value of violence on film.”

“Scoring animated films, I have the exact same approach and philosophy as I do for a live action. It's all story- and character-driven. I don't care if it's a mouse or Tom Cruise.”
