“James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never ...” — Tyrese Gibson Quote

James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we'd have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me.

A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They're up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It's easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films.

I accused a woman of doing something behind my back when I knew that she hadn't, just to see if she loved me.

The beautiful thing about my intelligence is that it doesn't really come in one specific department. So even if something hasn't happened to me, I have information on how to get you through whatever you may be going through.

For me, boxing is just a hobby and a science that I enjoy. I enjoy studying it and I'm a fan of the guys that are doing well.

Boxing is not always about standing in the middle going toe to toe. It's about poise and grace under extreme pressure.

You have a small period of time when you can perfect your career and become good at it. A lot of guys get distracted, which only hurts them. You must stay focused and work very hard at boxing.

I did boxing for three years, and that was very nice. It's a hard but great, great sport. I really love the training aspect of it.

And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.
