Don't be afraid of what you want. This is your time. The barriers are down.

I just wanted to be an actor. It's better to be well-rounded.

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.

From early childhood, my thrust was to get into the movies.

I've travelled a lot, but I am essentially American. All my input has been American.

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

Never let pride be your guiding principle. Let your accomplishments speak for you.
