More quotes by Morgan Freeman
I'm easy going for the most part but sometimes in the morning if I didn't sleep well I can be kind of grumpy. But my grumpiness doesn't have that much to do with my dissatisfaction with my station in life.
Morgan Freeman
People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
Morgan Freeman
All you have to do is believe, then you will see everything.
Morgan Freeman
I think the best thing somebody ever did to me was my mother opening her legs and squirting me out.
Morgan Freeman
Just that working with Clint again is like coming home.
Morgan Freeman
There are things that I would like to do, but I make a big distinction between liking to do something and wanting to do something. If there's something that I want to do I've done it. If there's something that comes up that I want to do I will do it.
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
There's an exercise we do where someone is sat behind you and you're asked to close your eyes and fall backwards. That's acting.
Morgan Freeman
I think you have to be left-brained, to a certain extent, to understand science. I can talk about it, but I can't do it.
Morgan Freeman
But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.
Morgan Freeman
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
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
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
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
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
Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.
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
If we don't save the oceans, if we don't do something about what we're doing to the oceans, as well as the planet at large, we're going to be really sorry.
Morgan Freeman
You don't know how much you appreciate your privacy until you don't have it.
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
