More quotes by Angela Bassett
When you ask the best questions of yourself and others, you invite the best answers.
Angela Bassett
Theater's my first love. I love it. It excites me. It feeds me.
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 guess I'm breaking out a little of what's comfortable and easy.
Angela Bassett
I like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.
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
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
The first time I acted was in high school in Florida, and when I heard that applause I felt so alive and felt that electricity go up my spine.
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
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
I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.
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
Acting is my calling, not my career.
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
I don't really like horror shows, horror movies, or any of that. I'm really a lightweight, in terms of that.
Angela Bassett
Memories are meant to fade, Lenny. They're designed that way for a reason.
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
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
Drink a bunch of water and get facials regularly. I take care of my skin.
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
