I don't need any more press. I get enough when I work, but environmental causes is one place where you can get me to open my mouth. And put my foot in it if necessary. I think the only thing I do that gives me any bragging rights in terms of energy conservation is sailing. Just using wind power.
Morgan Freeman
One universe, four forces, billions of galaxies. The precision and complexity of our world is enough to make even the famous cosmologist go just a little bit crazy. How does it all fit together? Is there a single, overarching design to the cosmos? And if we find it, will we glimpse the mind of God?

Marijuana prohibition is just the stupidest law possible....Jus t legalize it and tax it like we do liquor.
Morgan Freeman
Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.
Morgan Freeman
Is listening important? I can't think of a single walk of life where it wouldn't be.
Morgan Freeman
My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.

I remember saying to my agent, Listen, everybody's going out to Hollywood and making movies. I think I ought to go out there. And his advice to me was, I wouldn't do that if I were you. If they want you in Hollywood, they'll send you. And sure enough, they did.

The bigger point here is that golf is a good metaphor for one's life. The challenge of golf for me is trying to learn new rules. It's something you always have to work at you don't get perfect at golf. It's the never-ending quest for betterment.

I always knew that someone was going to come at me with a script to play God. It's just one of those things, the way your career is unfolding and all the talk about gravitas etc etc, so I had a strong feeling that someone was going to offer me the part of God. I was totally prepared to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' unless it was a comedy.
