I have nothing to do with racism in America; it was here when I got here.

No wonder circus animals do what they do: They tortured them. And you know the only ones they can't control? It's the chimpanzees. You can't control them. That's why you never see a gorilla in a movie, because the gorilla may decide there'll be no filming.

What does it mean to be too black for Hollywood? It's self-explanatory. Hollywood has certain kinds of blacks that they like.

Listen, we've got one little ol' black president, and white folks are upset, but they've had 43.

Arizona has always been anti-black.

You got to remember that slavery's very complex. It has a lot of levels to it.

Whatever that thing is that white people like in blacks, I don't have it. Maybe it's my arrogance or my self-assurance or the way I carry myself, but whatever it is, I don't have it.
