I'm not digging tunnels, I'm not building buildings. My work is not hard, my work is refreshing, my work is pleasant. The more the better. Lying around and getting no job is debilitating.

More quotes by Morgan Freeman
Never give up the ganja.
Morgan Freeman
I'm making a great effort because sometimes life is not enjoyable. Sometimes it's painful and sometimes it's stressful, sometimes it's agonizing even, so I think once you get around those humps: strive for pleasure and peace.
Morgan Freeman
I think the best thing somebody ever did to me was my mother opening her legs and squirting me out.
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
Is listening important? I can't think of a single walk of life where it wouldn't be.
Morgan Freeman
It [love about acting] is all about role playing - the same thing you do when you're a kid, when you play with dolls or toys and make up stories. I never grew out of it.
Morgan Freeman
I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.
Morgan Freeman
The odds are lousy that I actually said something attributed to me.
Morgan Freeman
Nobody is trying to save energy. We're trying to shift our use of fuel. Forget saving energy if we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts.
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
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.
Morgan Freeman
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.
Morgan Freeman
That's your job as the actor, to understand the human part of the character, to make it real.
Morgan Freeman
If you're playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks - in your own mind.
Morgan Freeman
Which lady would I like to meet? Um, I don't know that there's anybody left that I didn't meet. But the one that I really wanted to meet died and that was Princess Diana. I really wanted to get to know her. I like her.
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
Write something insightful. Say Morgan Freeman said it. Win at internet.
Morgan Freeman
Our situation, with global warming and air quality and all of that, has gotten to be catastrophic.
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
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
