More quotes by 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
Nelson Mandela was a man of incomparable honor, unconquerable strength, and unyielding resolve---a saint to many, a hero to all who treasure liberty, freedom and the dignity of humankind.

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.
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
I'm not a comedian. I don't make things funny if they're not funny. I don't invent funny stuff.
Morgan Freeman
I just wanted to be an actor. It's better to be well-rounded.
Morgan Freeman
It's just the stupidest law possible... You're just making criminals out of people who aren't engaged in criminal activity. And we're spending zillions of dollars trying to fight a war we can't win! We could make zillions, just legalize it and tax it like we do liquor. It's stupid.
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
You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.
Morgan Freeman
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
I try to keep my mind active. I'm a solitaire and puzzle addict. I exercise religiously. I don't do many things religiously and I've taken up golf to have something to do when I have nothing to do.
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
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
In my career? Me. I'm the boss. I'm the end all and be all. I'm the alpha and omega in that.
Morgan Freeman
In growing up, I was a child of the movies. I went to the movies every given opportunity, and that's pretty much what has informed a lot of my choices.
