More quotes by Morgan Freeman
If I wasn't acting, I have no clue what I'd be doing 'cause I have no other talent.
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
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
All my life, all my life that I can, as far back as I can remember, I saw my first movie when I was six years old. And since then I wanted to do that. I wanted to be a part of that.
Morgan Freeman
Very often, you know, you stop walking because you say, 'Well, I'm tired of climbing this hill. I'm never going to get to the top.' And you're only two steps from the top.
Morgan Freeman
Playing is no challenge every time that you get a role you get to go play with other people in the sandbox and so there is no challenge, real challenge. The challenge, the major challenge is getting the work, finding the sandbox.
Morgan Freeman
If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.
Morgan Freeman
I am passionate about what is going on with the oceans, mainly because we are for some idiotic reason, really screwing it up. I mean, we're really killing the ocean. It's like putting out the sun. Without it, there is no us.
Morgan Freeman
I'm easy going for the most part but sometimes in the morning if I didn't sleep well I can be kind of grumpy. But my grumpiness doesn't have that much to do with my dissatisfaction with my station in life.
Morgan Freeman
These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.
Morgan Freeman
If I stay at home, I'm not famous. I'm only famous when I'm out in the streets, so I don't go out on the streets much.
Morgan Freeman
We humans are more concerned with having than with being.
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
If you look back on your life and where you started from it's like looking back down a mountain back to the desert floor. It's like now I can't believe I had whatever it takes or perceived whatever it took to get here.
Morgan Freeman
I have four children and nine grandchildren. I'm presently wearing out my second wife.
Morgan Freeman
People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
Morgan Freeman
Literacy could be the ladder out of poverty
Morgan Freeman
I don't do cold. My reaction to cold is drastic. I'm a southern boy.
Morgan Freeman
You want to retire from a job you're not that all enamoured with. I love what I do. I want to keep doing it till I can't get out of bed doing it.
Morgan Freeman
I know people are saying they like you. I'm not being insulted or pushed around or anything. People are coming up because they like me. Nevertheless, I can't be everybody's...none of us can. I hate saying no to people.
Morgan Freeman
