The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.

I had such a good time doing that movie [Sister Act 2]. My daughter's in that movie. It was a fun film to do. And it shocked a lot of people, because they loved it, and they take it with them.

That's the thing about Mother Nature, she really doesn't care what economic bracket you're in.

Thank you, God, because I am lucky. Also let's face it, it turns out I'm black. And I'm having a career quite different from lots of people, so I feel doubly lucky.

I have the strangest time to get cast in anything. 'Ghost' was the same thing. Six months I had to wait for them to decide they had seen everybody possible. Why not? What limits me? I'm black? Oh, am I black?

Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine.

You've got to vote for someone. It's a shame, but it's got to be done.
