More quotes by Angela Bassett
Memories are meant to fade, Lenny. They're designed that way for a reason.
Angela Bassett
This is a career about images. It's celluloid they last for ever. I'm a black woman from America. My people were slaves in America, and even though we're free on paper and in law, I'm not going to allow you to enslave me on film, in celluloid, for all to see.
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 look in the eyes and I see the heart. As long as it's a human story. I would like to turn on my television and see African American, Hispanic, Asian as well as Caucasian. And I think there are probably more people like me.
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 was in school, my mother stressed education. I am so glad she did. I graduated from Yale College and Yale University with my master's and I didn't do it by missing school.

I guess I'm breaking out a little of what's comfortable and easy.
Angela Bassett
I deal in a very artistic way of what interests me and marks my passion, and I try to - whether its good or not - am in love with acting and the stage and characters and the ability to reach and to touch people, so that's where, I guess, that's where my heart will reside, by and large.
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
I am content that the work that I've done is wonderful.
Angela Bassett
I'm thinking about directing, but I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate what directors do and I would like to be good at it. The opportunity has presented itself four to five times, and I usually said no because of the script.
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
The world has white people and black people in it. Even in Harlem.
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
I don't really like horror shows, horror movies, or any of that. I'm really a lightweight, in terms of that.
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
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
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
In feature film world I'm very much...a hired hand. It's a world of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson - they're able to produce and to star and it's, that's not my world.
Angela Bassett
