Text Quotes
I starred in a Broadway play that was Sidney Poitier’s first directing job and the cast was Lou Gossett, Cicely Tyson, Diana Ladd and I played a Jewish kid who offered himself as a slave to two Columbia University students as reparations.  (Sidney Quotes) I’m a huge fan of the films of the 70s and even into the 80s, Sidney Lumet, all those films that used what was going on in people’s lives as drama. And not only are you entertained, but hopefully have a greater understanding of your world coming out of it.  (Sidney Quotes) Sidney Poitier, who is class personified, said: Lou, you’re a leading man because you’re a good actor. Brought tears to my eyes.  (Sidney Quotes) Bradley Cooper was an asshole, but he was - like Sidney Lumet, like George Clooney - the nicest guy in the world. I sound like the biggest ass-kisser ever. But I’m telling the truth, I swear to God!  (Sidney Quotes) I know I’m going to sound like an idiot, because I actually think that everybody’s the nicest guy ever, but I’m telling you: George Clooney, Roland Emmerich, Sidney Lumet - these are literally the nicest people.  (Sidney Quotes) It is easy to club people together, but there are bound to be influences of authors you’ve read. I grew up reading fast paced authors such as Sidney Sheldon and Jeffrey Archer, but to say I’m one of them isn’t true; my style is intrinsically my own.  (Sidney Quotes) I approach ‘Fast and Furious 6’ the same way I would approach a Sidney Lumet film. Getting into character’s getting into character.  (Sidney Quotes) Every year, Hollywood is looking for that new, white leading man and new white starlet that audiences fall in love with. But they’re not looking for the next Denzel Washington, Will Smith or Sidney Poitier.  (Sidney Quotes) Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford, Tom Cruise: those guys have well-planned careers. I’m just on a journey. Wherever I run across a job, I say, ‘Okay, I’ll do that.’  (Sidney Quotes) Sidney Poitier became a star in part by helping black and white Americans negotiate their new relationship in the post-Civil Rights era  (Sidney Quotes) I will say this: the first film that I was on was ‘In the Heat of the Night’, that Norman Jewison directed with Sidney Poitier. I’m on the set, and I’m totally taking it for granted. Everyone is working for everyone else and pulling for the very best, and it makes everyone better because you feel that effort and concern and appreciation.  (Sidney Quotes) Sidney Poitier became a star in part by helping black and white Americans negotiate their new relationship in the post-Civil Rights era.  (Sidney Quotes) Usually, you get to interview that one girl who plays the sister on some Disney show - you interview that girl a lot - but sometimes, every once in a while, you get to interview a legend. I have interviewed some amazingly iconic people, including Michelle Obama, Oprah, Sidney Poitier and Judy Dench. These people are legit icons.  (Sidney Quotes) This book is the best treatment of the best American Marxist philosopher-and the best philosopher to emerge from American slums. Young Sidney Hook is essential reading for anyone interested in democratic theory and practice in America  (Sidney Quotes) When I was 11 or 12, I was really bored with everything on my summer reading list. It was all happy, middle-grade kinds of books. I was getting frustrated, because I liked to read. My mother went to the library and got me a copy of ‘The Other Side of Midnight’ by Sidney Sheldon. It was my first adult book  (Sidney Quotes) Sidney Poitier, who is class personified, said: Lou, you’re a leading man because you’re a good actor. Brought tears to my eyes  (Sidney Quotes) Sidney Lumet’s chief preoccupation wasn’t art. It was right and wrong in the American city, nearly always in New York  (Sidney Quotes)
