Putting a little time aside for clean fun and good humor is very necessary to relieve the tensions of our time.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

What is the thing that Hollywood demands most? Sincerity. No place in the world will pay such a high price for this admirable trait.

The entire race is usually judged by the actions of one man or woman.

That's a powerful lucky rabbit's foot. I got the part in Gone With the Wind because of it. I got my Warner contract, thanks to it.

I am loathe to get married again. I've been married enough; I just prefer to forget it.

I'm letting no man handle my bank account.

I did my best, and God did the rest.

As for those grapefruit and buttermilk diets, I'll take roast chicken and dumplings.

Every actor and actress is possessed of the absorbing passion to create something distinctive and unique.

Bob Hope, Red Skelton, and Eddie Cantor... help us keep our balance.

Faith is the black person's federal reserve system.

A woman's gifts will make room for her.

Putting a little time aside for clean fun and good humor is very necessary to relieve the tensions of our time.

It sure looks good to see an honest-to-goodness audience after looking at you all for so long from the silver screen.

I sincerely hope that I shall always be a credit to my race, and to the motion picture industry.

In playing the part of Mammy, I tried to make her a living, breathing character, the way she appeared to me in the book.

I've played everything but a harp.

I don't belong on this earth. I always feel out of place - like a visitor.

When I was little, my mother taught me how to use a fork and knife. The trouble is that Mother forget to teach me how to stop using them!

Playing the Mammy of Miss Leigh was just about the biggest thrill I've ever had.

You can best fight any existing evil from the inside.

My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful.

I always have the best of everything.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun.

About the only time losing is more fun than winning is when you're fighting temptation.

I'm definitely not ready to move into something else. I'm having so much fun.

I am a very open, social, friendly person, and when it comes to people approaching me and asking for an autograph, I am totally cool with doing any of that. It's a lot of fun.

I am playing with the assumptions that we have in our everyday life when we are tripped up or fooled and we learn something, that makes things exciting - I am having fun with that stuff, but you have to manage it so it doesn't get too cute, that's what I trying to work toward.

The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.

I like doing them and they're ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they don't have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. They're really fun, I want to make more of them definitely.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.

Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

What we're doing is fun - if you have any sense of humor at all!

We see less of Dave, certainly, and he's kind of fallen out of the sphere of our group, mostly because he's working on his show, and has kind of lost the fun of the party.

When they were small and my wife really had no other responsibilities, except taking care of the family and all of us, it wasn't that big a deal. It was fun. Hey, we're going to Moscow. We're going to Italy. We're going to Toronto. We're going to New York.

But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.

Just keep taking chances and having fun.

I don't like going to the mall. I'm not really like the other girls. I just like to go out on the golf course and play. Golf is fun and feels really good.

Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.

Racing Stripes was so much fun to do. It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a couple years.

I get letters from readers who say that they have always hated reading, but somebody suggested one of my books, they actually finished the book and enjoyed it, and they're going on to read another book. I'm thrilled that they have figured out that reading is fun.

I haven't really had that many opportunities to play "lead" so I guess I jumped at the chance. I have also never done any "sci-fi" projects and thought it might be fun.

I thought that I was going to have to pay them to do what I wanted to do, that was how much fun I was having. You're 20 years old and you're hanging out with rock stars and going to fabulous parties, and then you talk about it!

That is why it's so fun to make movies... you get to do lots of things you would never do in your normal life.

I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.

If I had not gotten along so well with some of the people on the show, it would have been a different story. But in this case, it was great. But sure, it will be fun to look around.
