Tyrese Gibson quotes:

I went to the surplus store on Santa Monica and Vine (in Los Angeles) and went and got me a Navy outfit, put the black tape under my eyes. I got me a whistle and went in there with a hat looking like a full-on drill sergeant.

If you're not happy about how you look, you have to question how much self-love you have.

James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we'd have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me.

It's about giving the people what they want. So many people have told me that they've made love to my records so what I've delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme. Straight no chasers, it's booty music!

When you're in shape, you don't have to walk up to somebody and say, 'Yo, I love myself.' You look like you care for yourself.

My heart is hurting so bad no one can make me believe this is real Father God I pray that you send clarity over this cause I just don't understand My heart hurts it's broken no one can convince me that this is real.... Prayer warriors please pray real hard for his only child, his daughter and family,

When you step on the treadmill, make a commitment. Do, say, 3 miles a day. And don't get off until you finish. It doesn't matter what speed you're going. Just don't get off.

A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They're up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It's easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films.

You are the master of your environment. You've got your own head, your own mind. So once you figure out what you want for yourself, you have to create the proper environment to make sure you can live out all the things you want.

A lot of men are very sloppy with the way they cheat. You can get caught from your cell phone or hanging around the wrong people while you're doing your dirt. Or you can get caught after a woman purposely leaves something in your car.

I can say, hands down, 'Annapolis' is the most challenging film I've ever taken on.

My ex-girl told me, "I love you so much, and I know it's just a phase you're going through." When a woman comes at you like that, you look at her as being so mature because she understands if I'm cheating, it's not her problem, it's mine. When a man cheats, it's not a reflection of what she's not.

Today I begin a new life for I am the master of my abilities and today is going to be a great and beautiful day!

The beautiful thing about my intelligence is that it doesn't really come in one specific department. So even if something hasn't happened to me, I have information on how to get you through whatever you may be going through.

Change your mind and it will change your life. If nothing around you changes, changes the things that are around you.

Excuses sound best to the person that's making 'em up!

For every level there's another Devil.

God will NEVER give YOU something SOMEBODY ELSE is supposed to have

I don't do group sex. I don't like being in a roomful of all my homeys giving high-fives and yelling, 'Switch!'

I think right now a lot of albums that are out there, they sound like mixtapes.

I think the most significant moment at a wedding is when you say "I do" and when you do the first dance.

I've never boxed in my life, never been in a military base in my life, never grew up with anyone in the military.

The outcome of your LIFE and CAREER is a DIRECT reflection of your surroundings and upbringing!!!! Be BOLD and WALK in the direction of SUCCESS!

I'm not just a voice who wants to sing on anything. I co-produce, I want to select who comes in and plays on what songs, who to duet with and all of it.

I've never had to fight hard for anything I've gotten in the past.

I think the old school, back in the day, 10 to 15 years ago in music, is like you launch one single and you just let that ride out. Right now, you've got folks like Chris Brown, he just won't let up, he's got mixtape after mixtape, they're playing songs on the radio from the mixtape and then he's got songs on the album and videos and he's got remixes he's jumping on.

I accused a woman of doing something behind my back when I knew that she hadn't, just to see if she loved me.

I accused a woman of doing something behind my back when I knew that she hadn't, just to see if she loved me. One of a man's secret weapons in dealing with women is knowing the day you stop reacting to my bullshit is the day I feel like I've lost you, even if I'm creating a problem just so we can argue about it.

I don't look at women as groupies. To me, a groupie is a stalker. If you're a fan, then you're a fan. But I can look at a woman and become a fan of hers instantly. I'll tell a woman, "Look, I don't want your phone number. Just give me your autograph. Can I take a picture with you?"

I think a fan is a fan and when they support you and when they love you and when they embrace you and what you bring to the table, as long as you bring something that's quality to the table they're going to show up and support it.

I think the worst thing you can do is take an arrogant approach and not give people enough content to wrap their heads around.

I think ultimately a fan is a fan and you can't put new things on the fans mind if you don't have an audience.

I'm definitely more talented than most of the guys I know.

I'm definitely more talented than most of the guys I know. A lot of guys who just want to have sex will sit with the same woman and try all night. I'm able to look at a woman, have a five-minute conversation with her, and tell if it's a waste of time or not. I figure things out a lot faster.

I'm not Jesus, but I have very valuable information.

In this town [L.A], I guess it takes homosexuals to be discriminated against in order for someone to finally step UP and wanna do something.

Is Chris Rock still gonna host the Oscars after this blatant racism?? Is everyone still gonna show up??

Ive never had to fight hard for anything Ive gotten in the past.

Life is a menu. Whatever you order is what's delivered to the table.

Most women can't handle the reality of what comes with being with me. It takes a very secure woman to be backstage at a concert hearing 15,000 females going crazy.

Other peoples' success represents the possibility of what you can do.

People are dream killers--you've got to be careful who you give emotional access to.

People are in your life for a reason, others are there for a season and it's important to realize when those seasons are over.

The dream is free. The hustle is sold separately.

There are a lot of directors who make big money and do big things and then move out of the 'hood

When you play somebody's life, everything about your likeness, everything about the way you talk, whatever, has to become that person.

You have to surround yourself with people who live, breathe and eat something that you're trying to do, and then it becomes a motivating thing for them to want to support and get behind what you're doing - it's all good then.

You have to take your hat off to the homosexual and gay community cause right now they're as strong as black people USE to be when it comes to their rights.

You will always grow through - what you go through.

Your actions reflect what you want for yourself and how much you love and value yourself. Your actions reflect how you see yourself, what you feel you deserve.
