If you have an opportunity to use your voice you should use it.

Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.

We've come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay. I can't imagine Dr. King watching the 'Real Housewives' or 'Jersey Shore.'

The only thing I've kind of missed is finding a really good western that I want to do, because I watched westerns a lot.

I get paid all day, every day, which is almost too much for a sensitive artist.

I sit at home and read books. I watch movies. I watch television. I go and play golf. I don't go to nightclubs. I don't go out to dinner that often. I'm not a big party guy.

It was fun to be in a scene again with [my wife LaTanya Richardson]. We used to do plays together all the time. We hadn't really worked together since Losing Isaiah [1995]. That was kind of early on in both of our cinematic careers. Things have changed a little bit since then.
