“I feel like it was a blessing for everybody to know about my family, m...” — Jerami Grant Quote

I feel like it was a blessing for everybody to know about my family, my dad and my uncle and all my brothers. I feel like the more people talk about it, the more exposure I get, the more exposure my brother gets. It's a good thing.

I learned more from my family - my mom and my dad always tried to keep me as educated as possible on our history. Them doing that definitely helped me open my eyes to everything going on around the country.

You want to try to be yourself with whatever you're doing and put your own flair on it. I think that's a translation between art with a paintbrush and art with a basketball.

Typically, when you have long arms like I do, you want to bring the ball back behind your head and shoot.

My parents didn't care very much what I did, and that was probably a blessing.

For a homebody like me, the evolution of gadgets has been a blessing.

Being the offspring of English teachers is a mixed blessing. When the film star says to you, on the air, 'It was a perfect script for she and I,' inside your head you hear, in the sarcastic voice of your late father, 'Perfect for she, eh? And perfect for I, also?'

It's hard for me to listen to any actors whine or moan about anything acting-related because look at the world. We really have nothing to complain about. Just to be working is a blessing.

I think success happens when it's supposed to and when you can appreciate it. I am grateful that it didn't happen for me at 22 or 23. I would've been foolish enough to think that we're all entitled to it, instead of it being the divine blessing that it is.
