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
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 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
I like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.
Angela Bassett
People confuse the person and the part.
Angela Bassett
Drink a bunch of water and get facials regularly. I take care of my skin.
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
Acting is my calling, not my career.
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
I don't really like horror shows, horror movies, or any of that. I'm really a lightweight, in terms of that.
Angela Bassett
