ADD QUOTES
- Terrence: (on how he was sidetracked by acting from pursuing a career in music) I'll do a film every year and a half or something, but I'm not going to be distracted by the cute girl at the bar anymore. I'm just feeling the girl that I came here to meet.
  Edit Share Hide
- Terrence: I don't know if I will ever be able to play a character in love because I've never felt that. I've felt passion and lust for a woman but I've never been in love. I'm emotionally bankrupt in that area.
  Edit Share Hide
- Terrence: (on winning awards) I guess everybody wants to hold the belt up just once in their life. Everybody wants to be in the middle of the ring and scream into the camera, 'Ma, I did it!'
