Let me tell you about being executive producer. It is not a job, it's a title. Don't go around asking executive producers what they do because they don't do anything, alright?
Morgan Freeman
Part of acting is having the security to turn yourself loose and let yourself go in order to reach whatever depths a character has. If your guts aren't hanging out there, you don't offer anything.

I'm also very fond of a light business jet, so I'd like to get it before it's too late.
Morgan Freeman
I'm making a great effort because sometimes life is not enjoyable. Sometimes it's painful and sometimes it's stressful, sometimes it's agonizing even, so I think once you get around those humps: strive for pleasure and peace.
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
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.

It seems to me that I never grow unless I'm actually working with other actors who have shed whatever shell it is that keeps them insulated from each other.
Morgan Freeman
So we say, oh, my goodness we think we've found another Earth-like planet. We will start trying to figure out how to get there. And I have this strong belief that whatever we think we can do, whatever we can dream, we can do.
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
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
I've always been really hot on westerns. All my life growing up, cowboy, cowboy, cowboy.
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
Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.
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
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
My parents were working in a hospital in Memphis. But I didn't live there for any length of time that I remember. The first thing I remember is the town in Mississippi that I live in now, Charleston.
Morgan Freeman
One day very soon, we'll be asked: what did we do. And we will say: we did everything we could... we have to... because if we don't there won't be anyone left to ask. We have never faced a crisis this big, that we have never had better ideas to solve. This is our only home. We can choose today to make a world of difference.
Morgan Freeman
I was lucky in that when the opportunity came, I was prepared to meet it.

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.
Morgan Freeman
But I was 22 before I took my first dance class. I had never been athletic, so I was very stiff I still am. I think what I got mostly from dance was carriage.
