Hate put me in prison. Love's gonna bust me out.

The poorest people are the sweetest people.

I wasn't allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.

Meryl and Katharine Hepburn are probably the two greatest actresses of this and the last century.

We just had to stay out-of-the-way [in Fences]. [August Wilson] already wrote a masterpiece. And you really don't know how it's going to work until you get it in front of an audience.

I didn't want to audition the kids so much; I just wanted to talk to them because I like seeing how they are because their mothers usually mess them up with practice. So, I'd rather talk to them and see how they respond. I just throw things at them and see how they can hit the ball back, and Saniyya Sidney was good.

My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!
