Quotes

Antwon: Growing up in the Chi can be tough but I have always had a strong sense of family and what I wanted out of life. I feel that if you always keep God first then everything will turn out fine. And young fathers should take care of their kids...it ain't hard. (edit)
Antwon: (about his son) That's my little 'Mooter,' right there. Everything I do I try to keep in mind that I have him to take care of. (edit)
Antwon: Moving from Chicago to Los Angeles was a big adjustment. Chicago is superfast and LA is more of a mild type of neighborhood. So I had to adjust mentally to keep my focus.

"Talented"
He is a great actor and he knows how to make a great character seem real. He is really talented in One Tree Hill and in the few movies that he starred in. He will be big...I hope.
