My thoughts were to become a dentist when I first went to Albany State. I didn't know where I would end up, but I knew I'd be happy, and I knew I would have a nice life. That was always my goal, to have a nice, happy life. That's, to me, being rich.

Sometimes it's good to miss a bus. It might be the wrong bus.

If I could spend the rest of my life inside one movie it would be The Godfather, because it's the greatest movie ever made.

I've made a lot of people a lot of money, and I've made a lot of people really happy. I've entertained millions and millions of people.

I love the fame and the money and the power. You have to keep working to have that.

Typecasting is a good thing. It's good to be known for what you do.
