More quotes by Morgan Freeman
In my career? Me. I'm the boss. I'm the end all and be all. I'm the alpha and omega in that.
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
In the harshest place on Earth, ... love finds a way.
Morgan Freeman
I'm married, I've been married to the same woman for - well, I've been with the same woman for close to...long enough to fool around.
Morgan Freeman
I always knew that someone was going to come at me with a script to play God. It's just one of those things, the way your career is unfolding and all the talk about gravitas etc etc, so I had a strong feeling that someone was going to offer me the part of God. I was totally prepared to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' unless it was a comedy.
Morgan Freeman
I think the educational value is what comes first. I've always thought that the most effective tools we have for disseminating information, i.e. education, is television and film.
Morgan Freeman
I don't do comedy. I think if a situation is funny you just play it for real and if it's funny, it's funny.
Morgan Freeman
I just wanted to be an actor. It's better to be well-rounded.
Morgan Freeman
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.
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
You don't know how much you appreciate your privacy until you don't have it.
Morgan Freeman
I think one of the things when you're casting children is you're also casting their parents.
Morgan Freeman
My job, personally, is to do as much as I can to spread the warning that if we're not careful, it will end. The problem is, we don't think beyond our immediate needs.
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
We humans are more concerned with having than with being.
Morgan Freeman
A lot of people are going around saying, 'You won the Academy Award for such and such.' 'No. I didn't.' 'You didn't?' 'Well, you should have.'
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
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.
Morgan Freeman
One universe, four forces, billions of galaxies. The precision and complexity of our world is enough to make even the famous cosmologist go just a little bit crazy. How does it all fit together? Is there a single, overarching design to the cosmos? And if we find it, will we glimpse the mind of God?
Morgan Freeman
I try to keep my mind active. I'm a solitaire and puzzle addict. I exercise religiously. I don't do many things religiously and I've taken up golf to have something to do when I have nothing to do.
Morgan Freeman
