More quotes by Wesley Snipes
I was very short when I was little, so I probably had - and there may be a residue of it now - that Napoleon complex. Wanting to be as big and as powerful as the big guys.
Wesley Snipes
Lot of the scripts I've been in with other non-white actors haven't been great. Lot of non-white actors ain't all that great.
Wesley Snipes
No one can train you to be famous. How do you deal with the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy? You have to be disciplined.
Wesley Snipes
I think I have kind of a natural magnetism.
Wesley Snipes
I've been trying to keep the private life private. Not being savvy or trained on how to do good interviews like a politician, I thought it was wiser to follow my mother's advice: If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.
Wesley Snipes
My mother was pretty much on my case all the time.
Wesley Snipes

Well, I'm an artist to the core. And my objective has always been to use my talents and my skills to elevate humanity through my art.
Wesley Snipes
There are so few guys who do action and do it well. Even fewer who are African-American. Even fewer who have classical-theater training. So a cat like me coming in, I'm bringing all of that to an action movie.
Wesley Snipes
Internationally, I have as large of a fan base - if not larger - than I have domestically.
Wesley Snipes
I had acne late, in college. My skin used to be really flawless. Went to college, became a vegetarian, ate a lot of cheese - big mistake. Here I am trying to be healthy and I'm eating grilled cheese sandwiches and French fries every day, having mad eruptions all over my face.
Wesley Snipes
I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.
Wesley Snipes
We should be able to go to our government and get clear answers.
Wesley Snipes
A lot of the cats I grew up with in the South Bronx found themselves in sticky situations.
Wesley Snipes
I have some cops in my family. I understand the predicament that they're in. Sometimes they go into it just to pay the bills or because they don't have other choices, or sometimes they just want to get the gun.
