When I’m on a picture, I have two bosses - the director and the producer. My co-star is not my boss Picture Quote #1

There have been so few decent films involving Negroes that right away everybody expects every film to do everything. But when you make a flick, there are maybe two things you’re trying to put into that flick. You can put the other things in another time Picture Quote #1

Martin Luther King was a misguided leader. He worked to be recognized as the leader of black America when what black America needs isn’t a leader, it is education Picture Quote #1

I used to imagine what it would be like to do what Jim Brown was doing. I used to imagine what it would be like to be like a Tony Dorsett. I used to imagine what it would be like to be like a Walter Payton. I was imagining Emmitt Smith doing exactly what they were doing Picture Quote #1

AI don’t make a big thing out of my race. If you try to preach, people give you a little sympathy and then they want to get out of the way. So you don’t preach; you tell the story Picture Quote #1

If you help disabled children, it’s very appealing. If you help kids with cancer, those are the things you get credit for and those things are beautiful.

I run a program called Amer-I-Can. We’ve taught in prisons, schools, juvenile facilities and we teach in the community. We have the greatest record from the standpoint of dealing with grade point averages, disciplinary action and attendance in schools Picture Quote #1

NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done. So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football Picture Quote #1

When you have a problem, rules don’t solve your problem. It’s caring and education Picture Quote #1

Everybody does good things, but I’m talking about making major changes in the educational system that would impact an entire race. I’m talking about stopping these young gang members from killing one another. I’m talking about keeping prisons from overflowing Picture Quote #1

When you go out on a football field, you are responsible for taking care of yourself. The more rules you get, the less players truly take care of themselves Picture Quote #1
