Somebody once said to me after I'd done Deep Impact, What is it like to play a Black president, and I said, I didn't play a Black president. I played a president. I just happened to be Black. There's a difference.

I can only be so long without work before I start getting antsy.
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
Marijuana prohibition is just the stupidest law possible....Jus t legalize it and tax it like we do liquor.
Morgan Freeman
I have four children and nine grandchildren. I'm presently wearing out my second wife.
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
You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.
Morgan Freeman
Once you've gotten the job, there's nothing to it. If you're an actor, you're an actor. Doing it is not the hard part. The hard part is getting to do it.
Morgan Freeman
Doing comedy is as easy as doing anything else. You're dependent totally on the material.
Morgan Freeman
All you have to do is believe, then you will see everything.
Morgan Freeman
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.
Morgan Freeman
Insanity is coasting through life.
Morgan Freeman
You don't know how much you appreciate your privacy until you don't have it.
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
Forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear.
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
The trick to any profession is making it look easy.
Morgan Freeman
I find that if I hold your hand, it transfers an energy first. I have a sense of how you feel. That's important to me trying to become another person. I have a lot pressure to bring a character to life in any kind of real sense.
Morgan Freeman
If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.
Morgan Freeman
Literacy could be the ladder out of poverty
Morgan Freeman
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.
