Terrence Howard

I'm the one that put myself in the doghouse.

Other people didn't do.

There was a game.

There's procedures to the game.

If you don't follow the procedures, you get out of it.

And I did not know how to control my anger at the time.

I didn't know how to control my mouth.

I kept getting in my own way.

When we were doing this movie Boycott and Jeffrey Wright is sitting there and we're playing chess with each other.

right before he's got to go in.

And I've got my pawns, three pawns set up here, but I haven't been able to castle.

I'm trying to castle, but I can't get around there.

And I've got a bishop that's still blocking me from being able to castle.

And he dropped his rook down and checkmated me.

And he said, right there is your biggest problem.

You won't get out of your own way.

He said, the cameraman was watching you, and he's seeing you from this angle, and he looks good like this, and he could do this, that, and the other.

But he said, but you won't do it because you won't get out of your own way.

And getting out of my way then was I had a gold ring that I was determined to keep on, and I was like, I always wear this, and it's not the character.

I was like, but I always wear this, and da-da-da-da-da.
