so this is your fifth film with kevin hart are you obsessed with kevin you love kevin
do you wanna you wanna be besties with kevin let's talk carol okay i wanna know i wanna
know what the deal is uh is it no i love kevin we just from our very first movie we got such
a great chemistry and a bond and there's a lot of trust you know with kevin and i so i just and just
um yeah i love that guy we thought we were gonna have some pretty good chemistry but then
it really exploded into a really cool bond and brotherhood two individuals that started the same
you know we both come from from nothing and our road to getting something is a road that
we don't take for granted he started the term saying hardest workers in the room
which is what i really live by he's a person that that motivates me inspires
me and the fact that we're we're co-workers with friends it's a blessing to be around that
my mom reinforced you don't start things and not finish you don't quit if you're gonna do it do it
to try and be the best not be better than other people be the best for you now in anything i do
when i pick it up and say i'm gonna start it i gotta finish it there is a way to do more to get
more to obtain more but i personally don't want to lose all that i've been able to get
so i need to make sure that i do everything to keep it so i can't be content i refuse to click on
the switch of hi i want to be a part of the action and in doing it you'll also be able to understand
my drive you'll get why i do so much i've learned the power that we have to make other people happy
and content in a relationship and i have the love of my life lauren who i've had for eight years now
i wake up every day so grateful and so thankful that you have someone like that
someone who you could walk through this world with this is the kid who grew up an only child
who shouldered all the family's problems it's that kid who had a hard time with relationships
to this man today so yeah the smile is real when i think about that
and i realized being a father is the greatest job i have ever had the greatest job i will ever have
i always wanted to be a great dad i always wanted to give simone things that i felt i never got
when i held her when she was born i held her in these two hands and i said to her i will always
always take care of you for the rest of your life you are safe i literally held
her in these two hands and um throughout the years throughout the ups and downs um i've realized that
the most important thing that i could do with my daughter is lead our life with love
not success not fame not anything else but i'm always here for you you know just to show growth
i think with anything in life you always want to progress having the opportunity to step outside my
comfort zone of comedy and you know making a segue into what can be considered
the world of of dramatic acting but then the way to where my following can can be a part of
the journey of me eventually going over there this was a baby step you know with anything that you're
doing because that's your that's your reward seeing that you can say things and watch those
things become your reality is what puts you in a position to just keep going once you see oh wow i
said i was going to do this and i did it and now that i'm here i'm not done i'm going to set five
new goals and i can't wait to achieve these and have the same conversation with myself in years
to come it's just always it's playing a game with your own mental i think and that's why i love
writing things down that's why i love the vision board that's why i love team meetings and and
conversation there's there's just nothing bad that can come out of them it's only an upside i've been
doing comedy and acting for years but when i stepped on a set and i was with brian cranston and
nicole kittman regardless of my level of success or my star i was a sponge i was willing to soak
up as much information as possible i was listening i was watching uh and and pretty much taking away
whatever i could from the moment of working with these two unbelievable people you know
i like it because right now it's it's my baby right i'm watching it evolve because
i'm putting the pieces to the puzzle in place i'm hiring the right people i'm i'm having the people
that i hire feel comfortable enough to know that they're part of something that's much much bigger
much much bigger if you take a lesson from what i've been through
just pay attention pay attention man just one man's misfortune is another man's
fortune you know uh there's lesson learned in and all of this for everyone and it's just
it's it's very easy for things to go away it's hard to achieve them it's very hard to get there
it's easy for it to go away and you're living in the time where because it's so easy you have
to just be careful just make sure that you're always handling yourself correctly you know
not gonna be perfect nobody's perfect nobody's perfect but within your imperfections come
perfection so give yourself time to grow and understand the state of the world today
different it's different and also be true to you that's another thing that i would say
you know be true to you don't don't let other people dictate who you are and what you should be
i think we always wanted to know right from wrong or we're all smart enough to fix
whatever the wrong is to make it a right in doing so
do it while staying true to you there was a time where i said do me a favor i want you to tell me
what is the thing that you love most about our relationship and she's like oh come on and i'm
like no no what's the one thing that you love most about our relationship and um she said well
then i trust you
considering where i was at 13 the instability i had and she said um well that i trust you and um
and that we have a very special bond
and that moved me and so you know at 13 she's saying that and um
and uh
you know i couldn't ask for anything else does it feel like god basically told me to sit down
i'm thankful for my family my friends
i'm thankful for the people that have simply ride with me and i've been with me
because you stood by me it's going to take today for granted because tomorrow's not a problem
you
