I have more than four people on this planet in my life who see me for myself and forget that I've worked on network television. They forget I've worked in movies, and that I'm an actor. As long as I have four people who can do that, then there are others who are capable of doing that.
I've done over 150 different things since "Different Strokes," but that role will always be prevalent in people's minds because I haven't done anything to overshadow it yet.
Oh my god, if the game was any indication, Running With Scissors' 'Postal' movie will leave an indelible scar on Hollywood, ... I can't wait.
I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist.
They played with a lot of pride. They heard about all the star players on the North, and they went out there and played with a lot of heart.
It's never been presented to me as life-threatening or anything that would have to do with her life expectancy or her quality of life,
I may like L.A., but I want to know when the seasons are.
I have lifestyle requirements. Photos, meetings, lunches, dinners, facial care, tooth care. It requires an exorbitant amount of money.
I have four strikes against me. I'm black, I'm short, I'm intelligent, and I have a medical condition.
I don't have any friends and don't have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they're not really your friends. They're only there because you're a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.
I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It's just a matter of whether I'll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I'm willing to beat my head on.
I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest... I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything.
I can't sit back and swallow stuff. I live in a time and place, and in a country on earth where you're not supposed to swallow it. People just gave up.
George W. Bush bought the election - period. End of story. There is no argument. You can try to come up with any argument you can, but there is none.
