There's no mystery to it. Nothing more complicated than learning lines and putting on a costume.
Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.
I find it difficult to watch myself... I find it boring.
Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as our prince of peace, of civil rights. We owe him something major that will keep his memory alive.
Is there a movie I think I should have won the Oscar for? Yeah. All of them.
As you grow in this business, you learn how to do more with less.
I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be.

Nelson Mandela was a man of incomparable honor, unconquerable strength, and unyielding resolve---a saint to many, a hero to all who treasure liberty, freedom and the dignity of humankind.
I'm not one who can write out a speech and remember all the names of the people that you need to thank because you need to thank all of those people.
I seldom get into the mood of the story. It's acting. I go in, I act, I quit. I don't take anything away from it.
As long as you feel like a victim, you are one.
