Famous quotes by James Earl Jones:

"Your own need to be shines out of any dream or creation you imagine."

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will loose."

"When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language."

"Once you begin to explain or excuse all events on racial grounds, you begin to indulge in the perilous mythology of race."

"There is not enough magic in a bloodline to forge an instant, irrevocable bond."

"One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter."

"And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base..."

"Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of Kenobi, and will soon see the end of the Rebellion."

"[Quotable:] The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come. ... Field of Dreams"

"A dog and a beer."

"I was as content Off-Broadway as I was in a big Hollywood movie, and, I just try to be content wherever I am, you know."

"You don't build a bond without being present."

"I was an adopted child of my grandparents, and I don't know how I can ever express my gratitude for that, because my parents would have been a mess, you know."

"My grandmother had the most dramatic effect on my life because she set me in one direction, and I had to go back the other direction for my sanity, and for my ability to be a social human being."

"So I was determined to use my last two years in college doing something I thought I would enjoy, which was acting. And it was probably because there was girls over in the drama school too, you know?"

"My grandmother though, began to prepare in her own neurotic - and I think psychotic - way to face racism. So she taught us to be racist, which is something I had to undo later when I got to Michigan, you know."

"Reading was a big thing, yes. Books were a big thing. But the things that stick out were the newspapers."

"I was preparing myself for the theater, and... I got a little job here and a job there, but it wasn't going well, and I considered some time before the mid-60s that maybe I should consider something else."

"When I was in New York after I left the Army, I studied for two years at the American Theater Wing, studied acting, which involved dance and fencing and speech classes and history of theater, all that."

"So by the time I got to Michigan I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year and then those mute years continued until I got to high school."
