Wesley Snipes

“There is a bit of arrogance with 'Hollywood' types that doesn't sit well with game developers.”

“I used to do puppet theatre and also mime and musical theatre in Florida for competitions and festivals, which was great. I was very much involved in theatre when I was in college.”

“I was very short when I was little, so I probably had - and there may be a residue of it now - that Napoleon complex. Wanting to be as big and as powerful as the big guys.”

“Nobody wants to get locked up, although 'locked up' is a matter of perspective. There can be people who are out who are in prison mentally and emotionally and worse off than those who are behind bars.”

“I had acne late, in college. My skin used to be really flawless. Went to college, became a vegetarian, ate a lot of cheese - big mistake. Here I am trying to be healthy and I'm eating grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries every day, having mad eruptions all over my face.”

“I've been a law-abiding citizen ever since I grew up in the Bronx, New York.”

“A lot of people now don't know I've been on Broadway.”

“I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.”

“I think I have kind of a natural magnetism.”

“I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.”

“I mainly buy books in my free time.”

“A lot of the cats I grew up with in the South Bronx found themselves in sticky situations.”

“I was never charged with tax evasion. I've never been a tax protester.”

“Well, I'm an artist to the core. And my objective has always been to use my talents and my skills to elevate humanity through my art.”

“I've always been paying my taxes and I've always been trying to comply.”

“I think that all of us, as Americans, are due due process and have a right to a fair trial, and have a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I think that is the American way and it's the foundation upon which this country was built.”

“There are so few guys who do action and do it well. Even fewer who are African-American. Even fewer who have classical-theater training. So a cat like me coming in, I'm bringing all of that to an action movie.”

“I've reduced a lot of the stress in my life. I've gotten rid of a lot of things. The light was turned on and a lot of the cockroaches started spinning. I swept them out the door. And sometimes you just have to throw things out because they carry a certain energy.”

“I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.”

“I'm a physical type of actor and love projects in which I can get physical. The more action, the better.”
