I can’t sit back and swallow stuff. I live in a time and place, and in a country on earth where you’re not supposed to swallow it. People just gave up.
I don’t hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.
I know the difference between true love and the love of my fans.
I liked ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ up until about the last three or four years. I was bored.
I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone.
I suffer a little bit from Napoleonism, if you will.
I try to understand people who aren’t as smart as me and not be hateful.
I would not give my first 15 years to my worst enemy.
My slogan is I’m the least qualified guy for the job, but I’d probably do the best job.
Politics is never about the people. It’s about money. And wars. And how many heads you can step on and bodies you can step over. And I’m just not that kind of person.
Star Wars was magnificent, but you could tell Darth Vader’s ships were glued together.
Television is fun, but it’s hard, and if it gets too crazy I may just do it as a part-time thing.
I have lifestyle requirements. Photos, meetings, lunches, dinners, facial care, tooth care. It requires an exorbitant amount of money.
I knew what normalcy was, and I wasn’t having it.
I have four strikes against me. I’m black, I’m short, I’m intelligent, and I have a medical condition.
I don’t want to be known as Gary Coleman’s wife.
George W. Bush bought the election – period. End of story. There is no argument. You can try to come up with any argument you can, but there is none.
I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It’s just a matter of whether I’ll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I’m willing to beat my head on.
I don’t have any friends and don’t have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they’re not really your friends. They’re only there because you’re a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.
