I was the only Black person on the set. It was unusual for me to be in a circumstance in which every move I made was tantamount to representation of 18 million people.

You don't have to become something that you aren't to become better than you are.

I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

Cauldron save you.Mother hold you.Pass through the gates, and smell that immortal land of milk and honey.Fear no evil.Feel no pain.Go, and enter eternity.

What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes.
