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

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
Working on stage is really a great voice developer.
Morgan Freeman
You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.

Morgan Freeman
If I wasn't acting, I have no clue what I'd be doing 'cause I have no other talent.
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 think the best thing somebody ever did to me was my mother opening her legs and squirting me out.
Morgan Freeman
