More quotes by Morgan Freeman
Playing is no challenge every time that you get a role you get to go play with other people in the sandbox and so there is no challenge, real challenge. The challenge, the major challenge is getting the work, finding the sandbox.
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
My roots were pretty far removed from high income. It's interesting to be back there at the level of income I have now, at this stage in my life.
Morgan Freeman
Insanity is being shit on, beat down, coasting through life in a miserable existence when you have a caged lion locked inside and a key to release it.
Morgan Freeman
Fatigue, discomfort, discouragement are merely symptoms of effort.
Morgan Freeman
Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.

My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.
Morgan Freeman
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.

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
Life doesn't offer you promises whatsoever so it's very easy to become, 'Whatever happened to... ?' It's great to be wanted. I spent a few years not being wanted and this is better.
Morgan Freeman
In my home, who is my boss? If you ask my wife she'll say certainly not her. She claims that she can't make me do anything and so she's not my boss. I am. I'm pretty sure, maybe.
Morgan Freeman
I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be.
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
Doing comedy is as easy as doing anything else. You're dependent totally on the material.
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.
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
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
Is listening important? I can't think of a single walk of life where it wouldn't be.
Morgan Freeman
Donald Trump is the Honey Boo Boo of rich people.
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
