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

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

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.

I have to deal with being famous. Sometimes I have to tell people I don't do autographs, thank you very much. At certain places, I refuse to have my photograph taken.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

You do a movie. However long ...

You do a movie. However long it lasts, it begins and it ends in a relatively short period of time. In a given period of time, let's say a year, you can have three, four, or five different experiences which is exciting.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

Stage is really hard work. Yo...

Stage is really hard work. You've got to do it every night. Not like doing it once and walking away.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

My roots were pretty far removed from high income. It's interesting to be back there at the level of income I have now, at this stage in my life.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

I find that if I hold your ha...

I find that if I hold your hand, it transfers an energy first. I have a sense of how you feel. That's important to me trying to become another person. I have a lot pressure to bring a character to life in any kind of real sense.

I have four children and nine grandchildren. I'm presently wearing out my second wife.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

I remember saying to my agent...

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.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

I got my first job as a card-...

I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

My job, personally, is to do ...

My job, personally, is to do as much as I can to spread the warning that if we're not careful, it will end. The problem is, we don't think beyond our immediate needs.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

Hey, if I don't have a job, I...

Hey, if I don't have a job, I don't know why I bother to get up. Any time the phone rings, I'm ready to go. What else am I going to do? See, I've never retired. I don't even know what it means.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

When I was a kid, I was a cow...

When I was a kid, I was a cowboy. I had a cap pistol, and I'd get up in the morning and strap it on before I got ready.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

I can remember when I first g...

I can remember when I first got to los Angeles . I didn't have a car, I didn't have any money. I was walking the streets, you know, trying to get from place to place on foot almost. Sometimes, you know, you say, how am I ever going to get from here to there? There are a lot of people still having that dream and not being able to get there. So you never know. The idea is to keep on tap dancing, though.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

We are turning everything on ...

We are turning everything on this planet into food for humans. We'll eat it and, if we can't eat it, we'll kill it and take its place and just move it out of the way.

Morgan Freeman 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.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

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.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

If you sat down and you wrote...

If you sat down and you wrote a script, you may write something that's way beyond what you've ever seen me do, but if you thought of me to do it, I would be flattered to be asked to do something other than be wise.

Morgan Freeman 306 quotes

There are things that I would...

There are things that I would like to do, but I make a big distinction between liking to do something and wanting to do something. If there's something that I want to do I've done it. If there's something that comes up that I want to do I will do it.

I was a B student in math, simply because my teachers liked me, as an actor.
