I am an artist, art has no color and no sex.

I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.

The art of acting is to be other than what you are.

Art and life are subjective. Not everybody's gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.

There's no better place in the world for meat, conversation and good old-fashioned friendship.

Sitting at the table during Color Purple and looking up and suddenly realizing I was acting in front of Steven Spielberg, was pretty cool. It was pretty good.
