Morris Chestnut's Quotes

  • A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.
  • I am just another fireman because the story focuses on Joaquin Phoenix's character, but I play Joaquin's close friend and I get burned up a little bit, but I don't die.
  • It's hard when you see a scene where it's raining, and we have the rain machine, and you see it for 5 minutes, but that scene takes all day to shoot, and you do it with rain, and the dry off, and go back and do it again.
  • Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
  • And I think from a male perspective, we have men talking about their feelings and it being okay.
