More quotes by Wesley Snipes
I'm not looking at an action movie as something where I just jump around and look beautiful and show my muscles. Since there are so few people that do this and have that pedigree, people disregard their contribution.
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
I have a whole other side that has yet to be seen on screen.
Wesley Snipes
So: see ya, and I wouldn't wanna be ya.
Wesley Snipes
Nobody wants to get locked up, although 'locked up' is a matter of perspective. There can be people who are out who are in prison mentally and emotionally and worse off than those who are behind bars.
Wesley Snipes
There's a lot of great stuff on television and that's very appealing to actors who want to work, who do good quality and high quality work. But you're always concerned that the time demands on television will interrupt or interfere with your film work.
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.
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
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 that all of us, as Americans, are due due process and have a right to a fair trial, and have a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I think that is the American way and it's the foundation upon which this country was built.
Wesley Snipes
A lot of the cats I grew up with in the South Bronx found themselves in sticky situations.
Wesley Snipes
I was never charged with tax evasion. I've never been a tax protester.
Wesley Snipes
I like to read about different religions - Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism.
Wesley Snipes
I think I have kind of a natural magnetism.
Wesley Snipes
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
I didn't defraud the government by taking money that was not mine.
Wesley Snipes
I mainly buy books in my free time.
Wesley Snipes
Internationally, I have as large of a fan base - if not larger - than I have domestically.
Wesley Snipes
I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it.
Wesley Snipes
You can put a cat in an oven, but that don't make it a biscuit.
