Famous quotes by Omar Epps:
"Classic film, ... but when you see it, you'll see why you need to see the violence. It justifies everything you've heard about it -- everything that makes it an iconic film. You know what I mean? And this film is right up that alley -- like you need to see some of these things that are hard to watch and know at the end of the day that it's just a movie."
"He's young and he's cocky, and then he grows up, ... My character learns a lot about life, that basketball isn't everything. I think this film touches upon how much you are willing to sacrifice for your desires, and as you grow older, how your desires and needs and wants change."
"He made it a lot of fun, ... That was the fun part."
"Twenty years from now, I see myself being at the helm of a multimedia conglomerate, a powerful company with a solid film division, a budding music division, a solid television division, ... And I want to get into advertising as well."

"We're in Hollywood. I meet people like that every day."
"It's natural for any actor that segues into directing to be an actor's director. You know how to relate to the actors."
"I spend 90 percent of my time saying no, and my accountant yells at me for it, but when I started in this business, I wanted my career to have legs."
"You want to live your own life, but when you have fame, there are certain things you can't get away with."
"The world is as it should be."
"There's show and there's business. Business is a whole other beat."
"I've never taken myself too seriously."
