If you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.'

Thank you, God, because I am lucky. Also let's face it, it turns out I'm black. And I'm having a career quite different from lots of people, so I feel doubly lucky.

When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.

Well, one of the things we felt was missing from the greater conversation is that transgender people have been living and working in America for years...People may think it's a new thing it's not...So we wanted to show not just the political side, which is what you see with Caitlyn Jenner. And not the other side with Laverne Cox, who's great.

There are roles I am never considered for. Meryl Streep roles, let's say. Why not? I really wanted to do 'Ironweed,' for example, because the depression era in this country was one of the best for multiracial people, because everybody was poor. Everybody lived in the tents, and under buildings, and under gratings, together.

I'd like somebody to get rid of the death tax. That's what I want. I don't want to get taxed just because I died. I just don't think it's right. If I give something to my kid, I already paid the tax. Why should I have to pay it again because I died?

I am an artist, art has no color and no sex.

I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. When you're kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on. Soon it will be like a wildfire.

I won once [an Oscar]. So it can't be that racist.

I believe strongly that most people in this country U.S. don't want a totalitarian state...And when conservatives say, Get the government out of my backyard, the reality is, you can't say that and put somebody in the White House who's gonna be in your business.

You don't want to think something might be racist, but it might be, because your gut is telling you it is

Did you know children are dying because of AIDS. Missing the medicines that prevent transmission from mother to child. Missing the protection from parents teachers and role models that can teach them about the danger, and keep them safe from sexual exploitation. Children are missing your support. Unite for children. Unite against AIDS.

Things happen to you out of luck, and if you get to stick around it's because you're talented.
