Fear is that thing that keeps you up there on that other plateau. Fear is that thing that just keeps you closed down and quite frankly alone.

An American a Negro... two souls two thoughts two unreconciled strivings two warring ideals in one dark body whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.

You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

I do wish I could tell you my age but it's impossible. It keeps changing all the time.

It's sad actually because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.
