More quotes by 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 like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.
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
The world has white people and black people in it. Even in Harlem.
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
Acting is my calling, not my career.
Angela Bassett
Memories are meant to fade, Lenny. They're designed that way for a reason.
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
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
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 really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.

Drink a bunch of water and get facials regularly. I take care of my skin.
