I hate it. I hate taxidermy shops and all that crap.
Nothing’s real, but all is possible if God is on my side.
No one can quite say what the creative process is. Because I have nothing to do with it of course. It’s created in space. It’s God’s work, not mine.
I find in animals the same thing I find so wonderful in children. That purity, that honesty, where they don’t judge you, they just want to be your friend. I think that is so sweet.
There was more to life than the things you could hold in your hands or see with your eyes.
Masquerading the heart is the height of haunting souls.
No matter what age you are, if you have it and you know it, then people should listen to you.
The world should be full of love. Love. Love is the most important thing in the world.
May we continue to remember not to judge man by the color of his skin, but the content of his character.
I care about being paid fairly for what I do. When I approach a project, I put my whole heart and soul into it. Because I really care about it.
If you’re satisfied with everything you’re just going to stay at one level and the world will move ahead.
I’ve heard that Black people and Black faces don’t sell magazines, but one day you’re going to beg me to be on there.
I have always felt compassion for the planet. Sometime I just start to get emotional. I cry because I can almost feel the pain in the air. I put it in words and in song and in dance I think that is what artistry is.
I’ve been an ambassador of goodwill all over the world, spreading this message, did we do heal the world, treaty of all nations, circling this huge globe? What I don’t understand is just singing about sex and “I want to get in a hot tub with you baby and rub you all over” and, but I get battered in the press as the weirdo.
I want to always be youthful and have the energy to run around and play hide and seek, which is one of my favorite games.
I love putting on an outfit or a costume and just looking at myself in the mirror. Baggy pants or some real funky shoes and a hat and just feeling the character of it. That’s fun to me.
I love John Travolta, who came off that Kotter show. Nobody knew he could dance or do all of those things. He is like – boom. Before he knew it, he was the next big Brando or something.
I think Broadway is good for sharpening your skills. It’s the best for really reaching the zenith of your talent. You go so far and reach the peak of it and you say, “Maybe this is the best performance I can do.”
Look at how many great actors or entertainers have been lost to the world because they did a performance one night and that was it. With film, you capture that, it’s shown all over the world and it’s there forever.
The actor’s tense, he’s being taped and things are not falling naturally. That’s what I hate about Boadway. I feel like I’m giving a whole lot for nothing. I like to capture things and hold them there and share them with the whole world.
