More quotes by Morgan Freeman
I once heard a wise man say there are no perfect men. Only perfect intentions.
Morgan Freeman
It's seldom that you get to work with one director more than once. I've worked with Clint Eastwood three times, but that's the only one that's happened with, simply because I adore his work.
Morgan Freeman
Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.
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
You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.
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
Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single ‘victim’ of Columbine?
Morgan Freeman
I know American football. I know a little bit about soccer. I know baseball, I know basketball. But, rugby is a foreign language.
Morgan Freeman
When I was getting close to being accepted for pilot training, I was allowed to get in a jet airplane. I sat there looking at all those switches and dials and I got the distinct feeling that I was sitting in the nose of bomb. I realized my fantasies of flying and fighting were just that - fantasies.
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
If you're going to play a brain surgeon, you just have to learn how to say the words. You don't have to go and learn how to cut open somebody's scalp. I think acting is acting. Being is something else.
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.
Morgan Freeman
If you get called on to help somebody pull focus to some good cause, that's good use of your fame. I don't try to avoid that.
Morgan Freeman
Which lady would I like to meet? Um, I don't know that there's anybody left that I didn't meet. But the one that I really wanted to meet died and that was Princess Diana. I really wanted to get to know her. I like her.
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 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
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.
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
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
I was raised in Mississippi, so heat and humidity is my bread and butter. It keeps me going. I can't stand cold weather.
Morgan Freeman
