Long

I don't want to sound too carried away, but from what I've seen, 'Bingo Long' is going to be a big one. A classic.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was in the National Academy of Fine Arts and Design, on a scholarship. I was - still am - an artist. They were looking for an actor for 'Take a Giant Step,' and a producer liked my look and asked if I could act. I said, 'Yep!'

Gale

Nov 07, 2020

Right before 'Brian's Song' there was a period when I was very despondent, broke, depressed; my first marriage was on the rocks.

Nov 07, 2020

I tend to approach characters not based on ethnicity but on some unique individual qualities, and I've set my whole life that way. I don't want any sort of limitations imposed on my work. If you truly want to be a creative person, you can't limit yourself.

Broader
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't want to find myself ever locked into what people think I should think or do. In my art, and acting, I have a universal vision of things, an international vision. Bigger and broader and beyond. 'Bigger than life' is always on my mind.

Love
|

Life

Colors
|
Nov 07, 2020

If anything, I've seen myself as the full spectrum of colors, and to be faced with not being able to do something just because I'm of a particular race has been something that I've always found very difficult - even today.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

I go, and I do my work, and I try to do the best I can, and I collect my money, and I go home, and then I go on to the next thing. That's my attitude.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

I did something that no brown-skinned man in the movie industry ever did. I made a brown-skinned man look very romantic - a matinee idol. If you think about it, what I introduced is historical because it had never happened before, and it hasn't happened since - not on that level.

Black
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want people to see my heart, what I feel - not as one of America's best black actors but as one of the best actors.

Believe
|
Nov 07, 2020

Actually, I believe in everything, including astrology and tarot cards. All of it is just another way for people to try and tighten the link to the spirits in our universe. I believe it exists for all people.

Looks

Good

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

Power
|
Nov 07, 2020

Power is a very peculiar thing. It's like the ego. The ego's only there to keep you above water. Once we realize something good about ourselves, we have a tendency to abuse the gift.

Need
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's in our nature. We need to explore and find out what's going on outside of who we are.

Decorate
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think of film when I paint. Even the luminosity that I always keep working for is really about film. But my idea is not to paint paintings that will decorate somebody's house.

Nov 07, 2020

My idea is to paint paintings so that when you walk into a room, I'm pulling you in, or that makes you suddenly stop and wonder: 'What is this? There is something groovy, something else going on here.' Also, I want to give you what is obvious and what is not obvious to the eye.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am an artist no matter what I do. I live for creativity. I think everyone should. It is the antithesis of being destructive.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

Family
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I've been very fortunate, considering the obstacles that I had to deal with, you know, just being - by virtue of being a brown, lovely, brown-skinned man. But on the other hand, I've been able to make a good living, and I've been able to take care of my family, which is most important to me.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't know. You know, when I'm not acting, I'm not an actor. I'm just a person. That's how I go through life. I'd rather not - you know, like a lot of actors, you know, they spend their whole 24 hours a day being an actor.
