I don't believe that there is any good career move or bad career move. I believe there are only the things that make me happy.

The people who can be helping to make movies that have blacks and Latinos and women and all that - that movie doesn't come to you. Because the idea is that there's no place for black movies.

I believe that parts of people like John Garfield and Moms Mabley, the parts of them that I needed to be able to do what I'm doing, came into me. There's a very nice feeling that there are many, many spirits inside of me looking after me . . .

Actors have no color. That's the art form.

Chocolate and candy. That's what we brought in to our friends. We worked in East Berlin with other artists who were smuggled out to come work in the Western Bloc. It was extraordinary because people in East Berlin just wanted to know what was happening. Music. Fashion. The news. All of the things we get every day.

My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic. I don't believe in man-made religions.

I always wore sneakers when I wanted to. It was always about being comfortable and being myself.
