Famous quotes by Sidney Poitier:

"My mother is a Bahamian. My father is a Bahamian, as am I, ... And all that I am, I've received from them and a country that has today given me the opportunities, and to my grandchildren, that I have never dreamt of."

"I'll always be chasing you, ... Glory."

"[Smith said he, too, is pleased by the recognition of African-American actors. He noted that Poitier was the last man to win a best actor award] and that was 28 years ago. ... Lilies of the Field."

"Southern Gentleman."

"If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't. The journey has been incredible from its beginning. So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness."

"We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection."

"I don't very often read novels."

"When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard."

"As a man, I've been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents."

"I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month."

"I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values."

"I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being."

"I knew what it was to be uncomfortable in a movie theater watching unfolding on the screen images of myself - not me, but black people - that were uncomfortable."

"A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another."

"I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life."

"I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden."

"I wouldn't change a single thing, because one change alters every moment that follows it."

"If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't."

"I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste."

"I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions."
