I'm really not a celebrity; I'm just a teacher.

We need to teach our kids, because there is such a celebrity culture at the moment, that however rich you are, however famous you are, however glamorous you are, everyone has to live by the same rules.

I taught Sandra Bullock when no one knew who she was. I talked her out of quitting. I put her in a showcase.

My dad teaches me. He teaches me everything. He's been acting for over 30 years, so he knows a lot.

The actor that taught me the most was Bernie Mac. I did my first big budget studio film with he and Angela Bassett, 'Mr. 3000' for Disney. Bernie taught me by example what creates success is humility and hard work.

I always wanted to teach.

Over the years, I've learnt from co-actors, directors, technicians, and even from junior artists.

Every time I work with a star, I learn a lot. Also, I teach a lot because I'm a shoemaker, a designer. I'm born with a pencil in my hand. For old teenagers like me it's good to learn.

Celebrities are just like us and like any of your friends. I love working with people.
