I'm not one for blaspheming, but that one made me laugh.

Black history is American history.

I just wanted to be an actor. It’s better to be well-rounded.

What I haven’t talked about I don’t intend to talk about.

Even through my good-looking youth, I wasn’t called on for any romantic parts, which is okay. What I was called on to do, I enjoyed doing. The funny thing about life is that if you live long enough, I think, you’ll get every wish you ever had. It’ll all come true.

Every job’s a challenge. The challenge is to do it and make it look right, like you belong there – wherever that is.

It’s sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help.

If you’re comfortable on a horse, you’re comfortable on a horse. It’s like being on a motorbike.

Still, it can be more effective to accomplish what you need to accomplish with the minimum effort. Watch Anthony Hopkins. He doesn’t appear to be doing anything. He is so still that you can’t see him working, but you are drawn into his character through his very stillness.

I don’t have anybody telling me what to say. I have people who would suggest, maybe, that I shouldn’t do this, that or the other, but that’s strictly up to me.
