Angela Bassett Quotes

In feature film world I’m very much...a hired hand. It’s a world of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson - they’re able to produce and to star and it’s, that’s not my world Picture Quote #1
The world has white people and black people in it. Even in Harlem Picture Quote #1
I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career Picture Quote #1
As an actor, you’re used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that Picture Quote #1
When I was in school, my mother stressed education. I am so glad she did. I graduated from Yale College and Yale University with my master’s and I didn’t do it by missing school Picture Quote #1

I’m thinking about directing, but I know it’s a lot of work and I appreciate what directors do and I would like to be good at it. The opportunity has presented itself four to five times, and I usually said no because of the script Picture Quote #1
Loving God is like my being black. I just am. [No one says] ‘You know what? I’m gonna be blacker today!’ It’s my culture. It’s not something I put on or take off or show more. You just communicate that in the way you live your life Picture Quote #1
Memories are meant to fade, Lenny. They’re designed that way for a reason Picture Quote #1
Maybe if you’re younger you have more energy - but that’s a big maybe. Because at this stage of life, I have more patience, understanding, wisdom, resources - and a husband. I didn’t get him until I was 39. But I got a good one Picture Quote #1
This is a career about images. It’s celluloid; they last for ever. I’m a black woman from America. My people were slaves in America, and even though we’re free on paper and in law, I’m not going to allow you to enslave me on film, in celluloid, for all to see Picture Quote #1
I can give you the King’s English and then I can take it to the street, but do both or do one and don’t do one knowing only the street. That’s going to hold you back because what comes out is going to impress people, and it will impress them negatively Picture Quote #1

I hope I just continue to be passionate about the roles and to always endeavor to bring clarity and honesty to the table and different ideas Picture Quote #1
I don’t really like horror shows, horror movies, or any of that. I’m really a lightweight, in terms of that Picture Quote #1
As an actor, you’re used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that Picture Quote #1
My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she’d always act out the parts I did Picture Quote #1
