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)
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)
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!' (edit)
Terrence: In every person we meet there's this little piece of God in them and that's who you talk to. And that's the only person that you allow to talk to you. When something else is speaking, you walk away from that. (edit)
Terrence: My future's about trying to be a better man. My future's truly about trying to be a better human being. I can't tell you if one day I'll be standing up there with an Oscar or directing, but I am going to be the best human being I possibly can. (edit)
