There is not enough magic in a bloodline to forge an instant, irrevocable bond.

A man's got to take care of his family. You live in my house, you sleep your behind on my bedclothes, you put my food in your belly because you are my son you are my flesh and blood, not because I like you. It is my duty to take care of you. I owe a responsibility to you.

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
Love is just love, it can never be explained.

Before my grandpa built his own church, we went to the neighboring town, and it was a white community. You know, up north, mostly middle European people and Indians, Chippewa Indians. We were welcome to that church, but once we got in, they didn't know what to do with us.
James Earl Jones
You don't build a bond without being present.

Acting is not about anything romantic, not even fantasy, although you do create fantasy.
James Earl Jones
Love was just a word to me. Until you came along and gave it meaning.
James Earl Jones
So in my sophomore year, I took a senior anatomy class. I thought anatomy - being the thing that I should be most interested in - and if I could hack, as we called it, a senior class, I would continue. I didn't hack the senior class.
