The way I see it, the earth is going to be here after we're dead and gone. Even if it's a polluted planet, and they messed it up. Where do they go from here - to another planet so they can mess that up too?

You don't get to be old bein' no fool.

Movies are movies, and I don't think any of them are going to hurt the moral fiber of America and all that nonsense.

Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.

When I was in Africa, this voice came to me and said, "Richard, what do you see?" I said, "I see all types of people." The voice said, "But do you see any niggers?" I said, "No." It said, "Do you know why? 'Cause there aren't any."

When you ain't got no money, you gotta get an attitude.

Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.
