Joe Morton Quotations

I don't do theatre as much anymore because of the time it takes and it can't always pay me what I need to be paid at that particular time.

The advice that I usually give to young actors is that if you can create a character for the stage and keep that character fresh for at least 6 months that means you're doing the show eight times a week.

Film and television is just a different technique in terms of how to approach the camera but basically the job is the same; but what you learn as a craft in theater, you can then learn to translate that into any mediums.

I came into the industry at a time when there weren't a lot of choices to what you could do.

I think it talks about that there needs to be some proactive attack against drugs infiltrating our culture.

I love doing movies but I loved doing theatre just as much.

I think it talks about the fact that there are black people in the world who have tremendous amount of talents and have no channel through which they can those talents.

I think people believe that I give ant aura of someone who has both feet on the ground.

I think the thing is with a movie that has this much science fiction in it; you need characters who are more science fact, if you know what I mean, than they are human.

If there's no craft there, then once the looks go, there goes your career.
