We all had a lot of fun making the film ["Airplane" ], but there weren't a lot of outtakes or cracking up because we all were focused on doing our jobs in a professional manner.

I'm not going to disappear.

The transition was difficult. It's hard to stop something that you've enjoyed and that has been very rewarding.

The disconnect lasted too long. I think people got the idea I was sullen and couldn't communicate, which wasn't true.

I had a moment like that with Wilt (Chamberlain). He knocked me out of bounds, I came back and faked him, came across the middle and dunked on him.

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

I read that Hollywood wanted to film Fences years ago with a white director, but [August] Wilson refused. He thought that the director needed to have lived the culture of black Americans.
