I believe in my children. I believe in human beings. I believe in the goodness that is in human beings. I believe in many, many things that I cannot prove. I believe that there's the world of the seen and the world of the unseen.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I have a man cave somewhere in California - a totally undisclosed location where manly things occur. There are motorcycles, there are secret doors and passageways. Women are welcome, but they must knock.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
'Apocalypse Now' was my craziest experience ever. I was 14 years old, and I'd lied about my age to get the role. I haven't had another film top it.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I play characters. I don't think I really have a persona per se. I don't play the same guy every time. I show up, you don't know what I'm gonna do. I like it that way. I've intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that's what's interesting.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I think everyone is very surprised at how 'Matrix' has become the pop culture phenomenon that it is.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
If you asked someone who was a Maori about how they felt about how they were treated in Australia or New Zealand, you'll get an answer. They'll have something to tell you. And you might not like what you hear.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I carry a lot of feminine energy as well as masculine energy, and that's the hit that people are getting. That vulnerable thing is not what we assume with black males. You get it, and then they cease to become scary. They become human. You cease to have a bogeyman.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
As a man of colour, I've spent my life asking people to see me for who I am. With Obama in the White House, it feels like people have finally caught up to where I've been most of my life.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I have taken care of my gift, and because I've taken care of my gift, I feel like I've been continually and constantly blessed to get to do wonderful things.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I certainly believe that being in contact with one's spirit and nurturing one's spirit is as important as nurturing one's body and mind.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
Acting and philanthropy are braided together. I've tried to seek out things that speak not just specifically to the community that created me, but that speak in a way that's universal and all of humanity celebrates.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I actually had the opportunity to stand at the lectern in the Supreme Court and face the justices, which was really a powerful thing for me.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
If you're playing a real person, then you want to do a certain amount of research, but that's only going to be so useful to you. Each role requires a different kind of approach to get ready.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I've played a lot of bad guys, 'cause that was the only work I could get. People saw my face and went 'oooh'.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
It's funny, a lot of people think I take myself seriously because I come off so serious sometimes. But it's not that I take myself seriously, I take what I do seriously.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I can't remember a picture that has expressed black attitudes and personal relationships as vividly as we've done in 'Cadence.'
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I didn't have much of a childhood, but that's O.K. I have a livelihood.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I always want to read the script and know everything and at least understand the context of the world that you're in and why you're there and all that stuff. It's good to know something. I like to know, but I've never been one of these, 'Just show me my stuff,' no, I like to know what the whole picture is so I can understand how I fit into it.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I don't believe in acting teachers for me, so it's God's joke that he gave me a best friend who's an acting teacher.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
We don't really see a lot of war movies about the people that are left behind, dealing with the deaths of those who serve and the sacrifices they make.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
Having 50 to 60 years on the planet should give you a sense of how to master the way you look and live your life.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
When I think of Othello, I think of a poet-warrior. Let me say that again - a romantic warrior. And I think I have those qualities in common with him.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I really don't know that I'm iconic. I don't even know that people think I'm cool.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things and I think that questioning our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that we all go through at some point.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I'm not dyeing my hair and trying to pretend I'm 40. That's not going to work for me.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
There's great theatre in New York City, but no New York City in theatre.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
People think my name is Morpheus. Many times, people will say to me, 'Morpheus!' and I will complete the sentence by saying, 'is not my name!'
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I'm left-handed: I can think and feel at the same time. My feminine side is very highly developed.
Quote by -Laurence Fishburne
I was in a movie with Marlon Brando. Now, I didn't have any scenes with Marlon Brando, but I had scenes with Martin Sheen and was around Dennis Hopper, who was a child actor in the studio system and was enamored of James Dean, as was Martin, and they were all sort of disciples of Brando.
