I played Othello, but I didn't sit around thinking how Laurence Olivier did it when he played it. That wouldn't do me any good.

Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn't matter how good you are.

In any profession it gets to be a grind.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
