Famous quotes by Jeffrey Wright:

"Skip is one of my mentors. I get a lot of my ideas from other teachers, so I have lots of teachers to thank. The thing about teaching is, I constantly get to learn."

"He discovered he had a remarkable singing voice."

"It's a modernized version of Julius Caesar. It was originally set in Chicago, but we've moved the location to post-Katrina New Orleans' Ninth Ward."

"The drink is in the category called the caffeinated malt beverage category."

"It will revolutionize the approach and the underwriting of satellite risks. This is not about offering cheap insurance. It is about rewarding the best companies in the business with premiums, which reflect the risk. It brings accuracy and market leading technology and information to a sector which requires it."

"Basquiat -- Story of Graffiti Artist Basquiat,"

"He has such an incredible range, ... He can be very, very subtle or he can be explosive, depending on what the character is, and he has an incredible human compassion thing that I read off him on-screen."

"But their friendship and relationship was so clearly drawn on Jim's part, I was just playing the music he had written, so that was kind of wonderful about the script, ... I look at scripts, I suppose, the way a musician does with sheet music. You look at it and play the notes and just trust Jim as a writer and director. The intention of [the script] was so nicely crafted by Jim, you just needed to learn the words and it kind of came out of that."

"[Young men hold their children. Grown-ups clap and chortle at first downs, the most joyous noises this center has seen.] For 60 minutes they'll try to make us happy, ... It'd be a hell of a 60 minutes if I had a cold beer."

"Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan."

"I'm not sure whether Los Angeles borders on the ocean or on oblivion. I always feel that I'm two steps away from the other side when I'm out there. It's more like a vacation place or a place to visit than a place to hunker down."

"Some musicians play blues, others classical jazz or bluegrass. I like to play political roles because I can merge my political interests with my creative interests."

"I like to do theater and hopefully be effective. Most actors, at least contemporary actors of my generation, can't do it. They don't have the chops."

"Too often a story is examined through biased eyes, without a sensitivity for everyone who forged it. It's seen from the point of view of the great white savior, and rarely is the perspective of the slave a part."

"For lack of any clearer idea, I just started acting one day. It had been in the back of my head for a while, but I think in some ways I was afraid to do it, and finally I just stepped up."

"Well, I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good, everything's cool, and you don't necessarily want to know what's in it. The same thing holds true with movies."

"Well, I like to be kept on my toes. I look for a challenge. I don't like to recreate steps that I've already walked. I like to see if I can create something new."

"And it's one reason why I don't go to a lot of movies - they're more and more dominated by corporate values and fiscal concerns as opposed to cinematic concerns."

"I do have characters who are more well known than I am, which suits me fine."

"I like New York because you're kind of forced to smell everybody else's funk. So it keeps you biologically attached to the world around you."
