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.

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
Image
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.

From early childhood, my thrust was to get into the movies.

I grew up in the South but I started dancing in my twenties when I got out of the Air Force, and studying dance, you're surrounded by gay guys all the time. You get to know them and you have to shift gears!

I like producing but acting is the quintessential me, and I'm probably better at that than I am at anything. My heart has always been in the movies.

A scientist sounds like a scientist because the things that come out of their mouth don't stumble, that's all. If they [said], And the, um, a microwave, uh, you know, then you don't sound right, but if you can just get it out without stumbling then you're going to sound fine.

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.

I don't do cold. My reaction to cold is drastic. I'm a southern boy.

I feel fine, I don't care who the director is. All you have to do is know what your doing - all of us - everybody in the business - that's all you ask anyone - you know your job, I know mine, let's go do it.
