If you're not living on the edge then you're taking up a little too much space.

Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single ‘victim’ of Columbine?

I seldom get into the mood of the story. It's acting. I go in, I act, I quit. I don't take anything away from it.

Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.

Fatigue, discomfort, discouragement are merely symptoms of effort.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

If you sat down and you wrote a script, you may write something that's way beyond what you've ever seen me do, but if you thought of me to do it, I would be flattered to be asked to do something other than be wise.
