I'll admit I wanted to be a pilot, originally.

Instead, most colleges are studies in obsolescence.

I met Cynthia when I was 12, proposed at 16, became engaged at 17, married her at 19 and we had a baby when I was 20. If extra work could pay for a lot of diapers, that was for me.

That first year at Universal was a big blur and, naturally, I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.

The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor.

Four hundred million in India, and millions everywhere, have told you, precisely, that the colored people are not going to die for anybody: they are going to die for their independence.

In Britain, it's good for me to be anonymous, because they just think it's a nobody. "Who is this guy?"

Win back America for God.

I just like having fun. And, you know, sometimes I just like to present myself in that fun energy.
