I want to be up there, being lauded and applauded and given all these and on the red carpet, waving at the hordes of people.
You want to retire from a job you're not that all enamoured with. I love what I do. I want to keep doing it till I can't get out of bed doing it.
People don't want to hang around someone that you don't know how they're going to react to anything you do or say.
I am impatient with directors who don't know what they want, and the way you don't know what they want is because they want to do one more. "Let's do one more." So, "What for?" I guarantee you there's not going to be a change.
There are things that I would like to do, but I make a big distinction between liking to do something and wanting to do something. If there's something that I want to do I've done it. If there's something that comes up that I want to do I will do it.
That is a big turn-on for me, a director who knows what he's doing and what he wants, and knows when he's gotten what he wants.
And some places you been before are so great that you don't ever mind going back. Some places you been before you don't ever want to go back, you know, like Montreal in the Winter.
I was always ambitious. I always wanted to be more than I was....I always wanted to be a movie actor.
Ive got a lot of life left in me and I want to live it doing things I like to do.
Don't be afraid of what you want. This is your time. The barriers are down.
If you want to see a miracle, be the miracle
I just wanted to be an actor. It's better to be well-rounded.
I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.
We want to give people what they want, when they want it. We are following the wave.
