Gary Coleman Quotations

I know the difference between true love and the love of my fans.

You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

I can see through almost any scam, especially one perpetrated by the federal government. I can see through it... they can't pull the wool over my eyes, it's absolutely freakin' impossible to pull the wool over my eyes about the government.

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.

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 try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful.

I don't hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.

I have four strikes against me. I'm black, I'm short, I'm intelligent, and I have a medical condition.

Star Wars was magnificent, but you could tell Darth Vader's ships were glued together.

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.

My slogan is I'm the least qualified guy for the job, but I'd probably do the best job.

I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist.

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.

Television is fun, but it's hard, and if it gets too crazy I may just do it as a part-time thing.

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 would not give my first 15 years to my worst enemy.

I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest... I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything.

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.

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.

I have more than four people on this planet in my life who see me for myself and forget that I've worked on network television. They forget I've worked in movies, and that I'm an actor. As long as I have four people who can do that, then there are others who are capable of doing that.

They played with a lot of pride. They heard about all the star players on the North, and they went out there and played with a lot of heart.

I've done over 150 different things since "Different Strokes," but that role will always be prevalent in people's minds because I haven't done anything to overshadow it yet.

Oh my god, if the game was any indication, Running With Scissors' 'Postal' movie will leave an indelible scar on Hollywood, ... I can't wait.

It's never been presented to me as life-threatening or anything that would have to do with her life expectancy or her quality of life,

I may like L.A., but I want to know when the seasons are.

I don't want to be known as Gary Coleman's wife.

I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I�m a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I�m not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn�t exist.

15 concubines ain't nothin' to sneeze at.
