I can't just say the words, do a lot of one-liners. I love each person I play; I have to be that person. I have to do him true.

I became a performer because it was what I enjoyed doing.

In March I had a minor heart attack while I was vacationing in Australia. it scared me, but it was nothing compared to what someone had in store for me down the road.

You can have a film and have 200 white people working on it, and nobody finds anything wrong with that. But if you insist on having a black crew, all of a sudden there's something wrong.

I believe in divine forces and energies.

The black groups that boycott certain films would do better to get the money together to make the films they want to see, or stay in church and leave us to our work.

But for the use of physical punishment by, and fear of their oppressors, animals would never be a part of a circus.
