Challenge yourself; it’s the only path which leads to growth.
Insanity is coasting through life in a miserable existence when you have a caged lion locked inside and the key to release it.
I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole,
Your best posture is your next posture.
You want to be home about three weeks after you left in a big way but the family's okay, particularly if you're going someplace you never been before.
We call on anybody who has even the thought (of giving) to get beyond the thought and help these people.
I don't think you're going to get nominated every time you jump out of the box.
I'm not one for blaspheming -- but that one made me laugh.
I think that we did a really good thing when we elected Barack Obama. I read his books. He is absolutely and totally qualified for the job. He's proven himself to be not only qualified for the job, but very good at it. The things that he's managed to get accomplished in the face of so much push-back is amazing, and I think - this is Morgan Freeman's personal thought - we're going to be in a lot of trouble if we don't reelect him, because the people on the other side of the fence scare me.
I would never complain that Hollywood is racist when I'm one of the people touted as a welcome entity there.
I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with the making of this picture.
I remember saying to my agent, "Listen, everybody's going out to Hollywood and making movies. I think I ought to go out there." And his advice to me was, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. If they want you in Hollywood, they'll send you." And sure enough, they did.
I want to be up there, being lauded and applauded and given all these and on the red carpet, waving at the hordes of people.
Costume is always an asset. Normal costume you have a lot to say about - if you're wearing suits or ties, and what color you want, and how it's going to be cut, and stuff like that, and whether or not you're going to wear a hat, and blah, blah, blah. But, when you're wearing a special costume, and of course, costume is probably the second ingredient in character, script being first, I always find that the costume does a lot to cement your character, to put it firmly in mind.
