Latest Boris Kodjoe Quotes from Interviews

Quotes about:

• I had to make a decision about whether it would impact how I felt about trusting people, and I decided I wasn't going top allow it to impact my outlook on trust, because I believe trust is a choice. And I've always given people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me otherwise.

You don't build a company or a foundation for fame.
