“See, I don't watch reality television anymore. I watched a little bit of it for awhile, but I found it turned my soul into a black sludge, and I just did not find it healthy or good for me at all, because I would watch it and be disgusted, disgusted.” LittlesSoulRealityFoundBitsBlackWatchesTelevisionHealthyLittle BitMy SoulDisgustedReality Television Author:Martha Plimpton

“I'm not thinking about forcing my kids to watch my movies. It's always awkward when someone says: "Hey, I wrote a song, can I play it for you?" That would be the dynamic, if I was like: "Hey, you're my son, watch my work!" I don't want to put them in that awkward position. Just because when they get older, that's when I'm worried, that they'll judge me and say: "Yeah, my father's ******* Jack Black. He was in that cheesy movie."

“The beauty of when you watch good television or films is that, yes, you may have a multi-cultural cast but those roles could be anybody - they could be white, they could be black. To show the world that we have more in common than we have different with each other is to me the ultimate goal of all of that. It does help unite in people's mind the thought that people are the same. Yes, there's going to be cultural differences, but for the most part, we are all in the same gang as human beings.” PeopleWorldMindHumansMayDoeDifferentHelpingShowsFilmGoalBlackDifferencesHuman BeingsWhiteCommonRolesWatchesTelevisionUltimateCastsGangUltimate GoalCultural Differences Author:Mekhi Phifer
