I'm not sure that my upbringing has in itself informed my acting choices.

In growing up, I was a child of the movies. I went to the movies every given opportunity, and that's pretty much what has informed a lot of my choices.

When I was growing up, I didn'...

When I was growing up, I didn't see me in the movies except in certain lesser roles. If it wasn't funny, I wasn't there. Then Sidney Poitier came along, and he wasn't funny. He was just good. There's me. So that was my pattern.

I'm not a comedian. I don't make things funny if they're not funny. I don't invent funny stuff.

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.

Morgan Freeman 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

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.

Morgan Freeman 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

Somebody once said to me after...

Somebody once said to me after I'd done 'Deep Impact,' 'What is it like to play a Black president,' and I said, 'I didn't play a Black president. I played a president. I just happened to be Black. There's a difference.

Morgan Freeman 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

I am impatient with directors ...

I am impatient with directors who don't know what they want, and the way you don't know what they want is because they want to do one more. 'Let's do one more.' So, 'What for?' I guarantee you there's not going to be a change.

Morgan Freeman 03.03.2018 03:03:03 306 quotes

That is a big turn-on for me, ...

That is a big turn-on for me, a director who knows what he's doing and what he wants, and knows when he's gotten what he wants.

Someone's always going to come down on the side of the fence.

Race seems to me to be less and less a subject worth discussing.

Finding joy is probably tantamount to finding yourself and being comfortable in your own skin.

Actors cannot work against each other. It's totally impossible.

The better the actor, usually the safer you feel working with.

There's an exercise we do where someone is sat behind you and you're asked to close your eyes and fall backwards. That's acting.
