The accident was a horrible thing - but that horrible thing made Chris, at the end of his life, Superman. It's a happy irony if there is such a thing. I'm proud to have known him.

More quotes by 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
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
I was very lucky once I got started with a career. I happened to get some really good parts to play with some really good people to play with.
Morgan Freeman
I think you take a job, you owe it as much passion as the job itself demands. And most jobs demand that you be totally committed.
Morgan Freeman
How are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it!
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
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
A scientist sounds like a scientist because the things that come out of their mouth don't stumble, that's all. If they [said], And the, um, a microwave, uh, you know, then you don't sound right, but if you can just get it out without stumbling then you're going to sound fine.
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
There's an exercise we do where someone is sat behind you and you're asked to close your eyes and fall backwards. That's acting.
Morgan Freeman
Fatigue, discomfort, discouragement are merely symptoms of effort.
Morgan Freeman
I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.
Morgan Freeman
All you have to do is believe, then you will see everything.
Morgan Freeman
Being blind is as simple as closing your eyes. The blind don't act any different than you or I. You never see a blind person going around saying, 'I'm blind.' So if you want to play blind just close your eyes and keep them closed and fare thee well.
Morgan Freeman
I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.
Morgan Freeman
I've been living with myself all of my life, so I know all of me. So when I watch me, all I see is me. It's boring.
Morgan Freeman
Hey, if I don't have a job, I don't know why I bother to get up. Any time the phone rings, I'm ready to go. What else am I going to do? See, I've never retired. I don't even know what it means.
Morgan Freeman
Challenge yourself it’s the only path which leads to growth.
Morgan Freeman
Freeman denied the claim that he was a “man of God”, saying that “the question of faith is whatever you actually believe is. We take a lot of what we're talking about in science on faith we posit a theory, and until it's dis-proven we have faith that it's true. If the mathematics work out, then it's true, until it's proven to be untrue.
Morgan Freeman
I think the educational value is what comes first. I've always thought that the most effective tools we have for disseminating information, i.e. education, is television and film.
