If the film, play or any project I`m involved in requires some sort of violence or nudity to advance the plot, scene or character in any way, then I would be considered unprofessional not to oblige. Of course, I want to make sure -- and I think I always have -- that the scenes are shot in good taste. I try to have some control; now that I know what I`m capable of including in a contract, I can continue that control. Nudity is not something I necessarily want to avoid and yet it`s not the most fun thing in the world to do. It`s part of the job as far as I`m concerned because you bare yourself emotionally and that`s just as terrifying as baring yourself physically. It`s all part of acting.

Peter Sellers became a monster. He just got bored with the part (Inspector Clouseau) and became angry, sullen and unprofessional.

(Banner is so committed to paving that road he even placed 5 golden tickets in select copies of his first album. Each lucky recipient got a $10,000 scholarship to the school of their choice.) The one thing I hate about America, ... is how they channel all these ideas to the urban community that are not conducive to us being functional people in America . They`ve got us thinking it`s negative to be smart; that it makes you a `nerd,` and that it`s cool to be late for everything and be unprofessional. Whenever I do an interview I have to wait around for the writer because they just assume that rappers are always late. So I`m trying to show that there`s nothing wrong with handling your business properly and doing what you`re supposed to and that there`s nothing wrong with being smart. Knowledge is what you need in order to survive!

- David Banner

When I interview people accused of capital offenses, I never even ask if they did it. I would consider that unprofessional.

- Joseph Wambaugh

That was totally unprofessional, pointing their guns at us like that, ... The Army has been patrolling this street for a week, and they know what`s going on here. All the police had to do was ask them, and they would have known everything they needed to know about this street.

- Chris White

It is not unprofessional to give free legal advice, but advertising that the first visit will be free is a bit like a fox telling chickens he will not bite them until they cross the threshold of the hen house.

- Andrew Lebow

If a military recruiter belittles any of our students or speaks in an inappropriate or unprofessional manner, I want the students to know that there is a person right there on campus and they can go and report it.
