James Earl Jones
If you live in an oppressive society, you've got to be resilient. You can't let each little thing crush you. You have take every encounter and make yourself larger, rather than allow yourself to be diminished by it.
James Earl Jones
The last thing I want to be is a rich black superstar. I just want to act.
James Earl Jones

James Earl Jones
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
James Earl Jones
I think stutterers are funny. And I know it's rude and politically incorrect to laugh at stutterers. But I think it is okay because I know why they're funny. They make people nervous. People think, when on earth are they going to get the word out, so they start laughing out of their own nervousness.
James Earl Jones
I love to see actors' work. I love to surf channels late at night and accidentally run into movies I hadn't seen before. It makes me very proud of the profession.
James Earl Jones
If you expect someone else to guide you, you'll be lost.
