Terrence Howard shared his belief that once a man gives up his sense of manhood, whether out of fear, pressure, or for personal gain, he loses a vital part of himself that can’t be regained. He compared it to a woman giving up her nurturing role and said both situations result in a loss of spiritual strength.

Howard added that many people in the industry lose themselves trying to chase status or rewards, and once that core identity is gone, it's hard to come back from. He believed staying true to yourself is essential, especially in a world full of temptations.
