The real question for me is, do people have the tools that they need in order to make those decisions well?

I have definitely been curious and involved in the process; even as a young actor. I was always looking at where the camera was, what story it was telling. And as my experience grew, I wanted to know even more.

You can’t have a relationship with a device whose limits are unknown to you, because without limits, it keeps becoming something else.

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don’t have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I’m sure he didn’t call everybody jerks.

If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

I don’t have anything to hide.

Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.

I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.

I don’t let a lot of reporters meet my children.

I don’t have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don’t know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don’t know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don’t think you need all that stuff.

I certainly respect the belief of the Hobby Lobby owners. On the other hand, they have no constitutional right to foist that belief on the hundreds and hundreds of women who work for them who don’t share that belief.

Stop this attitude that older people ain’t any good anymore! We’re as good as we ever were – if we ever were any good.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us. I never looked back there, but she was like, ‚Will you all just shut up!‘ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‚What are you doing?!‘ I was like, ‚You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.‘

I have survivor’s curiosity, I guess.

I respect Soulja Boy.

I am not very good with relationships. With anyone. I can’t be locked up with anyone for too long.

What interests me in life is curiosity, challenges, the good fight with its victories and defeats.

The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science – that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.

I’ve got nothing to hide.

Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn’t happen.

It’s not proper for the government to intrude too thoroughly into the domain of the family. It’s inappropriate.

The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody’s ego, that’s it, game over.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.
