More quotes by Angela Bassett
Loving God is like my being black. I just am. [No one says] 'You know what? I'm gonna be blacker today!' It's my culture. It's not something I put on or take off or show more. You just communicate that in the way you live your life.
Angela Bassett
I like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.
Angela Bassett
The world has white people and black people in it. Even in Harlem.
Angela Bassett
Maybe if you're younger you have more energy - but that's a big maybe. Because at this stage of life, I have more patience, understanding, wisdom, resources - and a husband. I didn't get him until I was 39. But I got a good one.
Angela Bassett
I can give you the King's English and then I can take it to the street, but do both or do one and don't do one knowing only the street. That's going to hold you back because what comes out is going to impress people, and it will impress them negatively.
Angela Bassett
When you realize that every breath is a gift from God. When you realize how small you are, but how much he loved you. That he, Jesus, would die, the son of God himself on earth, then you...you just weep.
Angela Bassett
It’s more than just saying lines and turning the light on. You have to drive the story - there’s a technical aspect.
Angela Bassett
The three things I said when I came out of school were I want to work consistently, I want to do good work and I want to be paid fairly, and that's happened. But I didn't become an actress for the money. I do it for other reasons.
Angela Bassett
Of course you want to do all the research that you can, but it's impossible to take a life and the boundaries of an hour and a half, so there is hope there will be understanding about that also.
Angela Bassett
My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did.
Angela Bassett
When I got married, I was all in love, but then came life intruding in, and sometimes it's difficult ... I would look at my husband and ask, 'did we do it too quickly?' ... But my husband was strong in his resolve. He kept reminding me that people go through this, and that we were going to be ok.
Angela Bassett
I am content that the work that I've done is wonderful.
Angela Bassett
Acting is my calling, not my career.
Angela Bassett
I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.
Angela Bassett
I hope I just continue to be passionate about the roles and to always endeavor to bring clarity and honesty to the table and different ideas.
Angela Bassett
People confuse the person and the part.
Angela Bassett
I love vegan choices, raw food choices, and I’ll eat whatever I have to in order to get into whatever shape I need to get into for any one particular role.
Angela Bassett
I think if you're able to do over the course of your career 20, 30, 50 very wonderful rich characters, you'd rather have that than an Oscar.
Angela Bassett
Don't settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had. We need to live the best that's in us.
Angela Bassett
As an actor, you're used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that.
Angela Bassett
