More quotes by 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
I was convicted of three misdemeanors of willful failure to file a form.
Wesley Snipes
Internationally, I have as large of a fan base - if not larger - than I have domestically.
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
Not everybody can do the comic book adaptation thing and make it believable. It is challenging.
Wesley Snipes
You can put a cat in an oven, but that don't make it a biscuit.
Wesley Snipes
In film you have the script months ahead of time often, for a good film, but in television it seems like you might not get the script until a week or two weeks before you've got to film it. It's a little weird, but also quite challenging. It reminds me of repertory theatre.
Wesley Snipes
We're conditioned in this country to believe that if there's a problem, the black man is usually the culprit.
Wesley Snipes
I don't like perpetuating the stereotype of black males being drug dealers, and criminals.
Wesley Snipes
I don't see myself as extremely handsome. I just figure I can charm you into liking me.
Wesley Snipes
Certain roles are more challenging than others, but I haven't come across one yet that I can't tackle.
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
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
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
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
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
So: see ya, and I wouldn't wanna be ya.
Wesley Snipes
I think of myself as a young prince from a long line of royalty.
Wesley Snipes
The first time I jumped from a plane, I screamed like a woman. I was two miles up and you could hear me clear as day. Now I love it.
Wesley Snipes
My mother was pretty much on my case all the time.
