More quotes by Wesley Snipes

So: see ya, and I wouldn't wanna be ya.
Wesley Snipes
I've reduced a lot of the stress in my life. I've gotten rid of a lot of things. The light was turned on and a lot of the cockroaches started spinning. I swept them out the door. And sometimes you just have to throw things out because they carry a certain energy.
Wesley Snipes
My mother was pretty much on my case all the time.
Wesley Snipes
I don't like perpetuating the stereotype of black males being drug dealers, and criminals.

If a woman decides she likes me, it would behoove her to take into consideration that my art has had a strong influence on the type of person I am.
Wesley Snipes
