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

Audiences believe what you believe. It's a matter of believing yourself. If I believe me, then you've got no choice. None at all.

Let me tell you about being executive producer. It is not a job, it's a title. Don't go around asking executive producers what they do because they don't do anything, alright?

It's seldom that you get to work with one director more than once. I've worked with Clint Eastwood three times, but that's the only one that's happened with, simply because I adore his work.

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.

I avoid seeing myself while I'm working on role so I won't see "me."

I've been living with myself all of my life, so I know all of me. So when I watch me, all I see is me. It's boring.
