More quotes by Morgan Freeman
I try to keep my mind active. I'm a solitaire and puzzle addict. I exercise religiously. I don't do many things religiously and I've taken up golf to have something to do when I have nothing to do.
Morgan Freeman
If you sat down and you wrote a script, you may write something that's way beyond what you've ever seen me do, but if you thought of me to do it, I would be flattered to be asked to do something other than be wise.
Morgan Freeman
Nobody is trying to save energy. We're trying to shift our use of fuel. Forget saving energy if we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts.
Morgan Freeman
People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
Morgan Freeman
I always wanted to be a fireman, a cop, an Indian chief, a doctor, a lawyer. I always wanted to be all these things, so I am drawn to these kinds of characters.
Morgan Freeman
In my career? Me. I'm the boss. I'm the end all and be all. I'm the alpha and omega in that.
Morgan Freeman
I grew up in the South but I started dancing in my twenties when I got out of the Air Force, and studying dance, you're surrounded by gay guys all the time. You get to know them and you have to shift gears!
Morgan Freeman
Let me tell you what justice is. Justice is the law. And that man's feeble attempt to lay down the principles of deceny.
Morgan Freeman
I don't have anybody telling me what to say. I have people who would suggest, maybe, that I shouldn't do this, that or the other, but that's strictly up to me.
Morgan Freeman
I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
Morgan Freeman
Our situation, with global warming and air quality and all of that, has gotten to be catastrophic.
Morgan Freeman
My job, personally, is to do as much as I can to spread the warning that if we're not careful, it will end. The problem is, we don't think beyond our immediate needs.
Morgan Freeman
Once you've gotten the job, there's nothing to it. If you're an actor, you're an actor. Doing it is not the hard part. The hard part is getting to do it.
Morgan Freeman
I once heard a wise man say there are no perfect men. Only perfect intentions.
Morgan Freeman
I feel fine, I don't care who the director is. All you have to do is know what your doing - all of us - everybody in the business - that's all you ask anyone - you know your job, I know mine, let's go do it.
Morgan Freeman
I had gone to school to work on technique and found it wasn't something that was really worthwhile to me, although it probably was.
Morgan Freeman
I'm not digging tunnels, I'm not building buildings. My work is not hard, my work is refreshing, my work is pleasant. The more the better. Lying around and getting no job is debilitating.
Morgan Freeman
When I was growing up, I didn't see me in the movies except in certain lesser roles. If it wasn't funny, I wasn't there. Then Sidney Poitier came along, and he wasn't funny. He was just good. There's me. So that was my pattern.
Morgan Freeman
If you're playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks - in your own mind.
Morgan Freeman
I have four children and nine grandchildren. I'm presently wearing out my second wife.
Morgan Freeman
