Actor

I'm not intimidated by lead roles. I'm better in them. I don't feel pressure. I feel released at times like that. That's what I'm born to do.

Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.

I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.

Once you've gotten the job, there's nothing to it. If you're an actor, you're an actor. Doing it is not the hard part. The hard part is getting to do it.

When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

All my life, all my life that I can, as far back as I can remember, I saw my first movie when I was six years old. And since then I wanted to do that. I wanted to be a part of that.

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.

My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.

I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.

Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.

I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.

I don't know what my favorite film of mine is... But I think the most important film I was in was 'Glory'.

I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that's, of course, wonderful. I'm really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.

This kid came up with Napster, and before that, none of us thought of content protection.

Dr. Martin Luther King bukanlah pahlawan kulit hitam. Dia adalah pahlawan Amerika.

I've been living with myself all of my life, so I know all of me. So when I watch me, all I see is me. It's boring.

I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with the making of this picture.

Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.

Acting means living, it's all I do and all I'm good at. If I weren't getting paid well, I would still be acting in a small troupe somewhere.

There's no mystery to it. Nothing more complicated than learning lines and putting on a costume.
