The prejudice was so bad in the United States at that time that a dark person with a white person would not be served in a restaurant. My father, mother, and I would try it occasionally. We would sit there, and the food would never come.
A handkerchief can never be put in another pocket after it has been in one pocket. I don't walk under ladders. I have items of clothing that are lucky for me. That rotates, but I am luck-oriented.
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
Elvis walked over and signed a few autographs over the fence. They were screaming. I had never seen this.
Had it not been for the Atlantic Ocean and the virgin wilderness, the United States would never have been the Land of Promise.
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied.
Adding to your list of enemies is never a sound strategy, yet ISIS' ferocious campaign against the Shia, Kurds, Yazidis, Christians, and Muslims who don't precisely share its views has united every ethnic and religious group in Syria and Iraq against them.
I would never intend to hurt anyone I'm in the ring with. It's entertainment, it's a performance, it's a sport.
I actually never got in a play in school. My teacher said I never learned my lines.
Never say never, but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp, and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
I think it's great training for any comedian to start on cows. Because with cows, you expect them to be bored and just stare at you blankly. And that's exactly what you'll get at a comedy club. If you can toughen up with a cow audience, then you'll never be worried with a human audience.
I'm very proud of the Rome episode of 'No Reservations' because it violated all the conventional wisdom about making television. You're never, ever supposed to do a food or travel show in black and white.
I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.
I've always wanted to design a Mustang. I just never really had the opportunity in my career because the timing was never right.
He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts.
However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.
I'll sometimes go and do a sunbed, but never spray tan.
You never know what the public is going to respond to or relate to.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that, and to go to UCLA, and to become someone great in life!
In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.
We poison our lives with fear of burglary and shipwreck, and, ask anyone, the house is never burgled, and the ship never goes down.
I never thought of myself as being a good songwriter. There are a ton of other people that are good songwriters, but I don't think I'm in the club. What I do well is perform, sometimes sing pretty good, and accompany myself well and arrange fairly well.
Boys never liked me at school. They made fun of me 'cos I had dark skin.
The people who influenced me most were the people who said I would never make it. They gave me a thirst for revenge.
You don't have to know people personally for them to be role models. Some of my most important role models were historical or literary figures that I only read about - never actually met.
Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I've been poor when I was in China... As kids we never had to starve, but just didn't have enough meat, enough rice.
I could never drive in a great big car; people like me because I'm a man of the people, a hustler.
Although religion was around me my whole life I never felt it was forced upon me. It is my centring, my grounding, the soul of me. I feel I'm nothing without it.
I get scared to death every time I have to play. I always get nervous because you never know what to expect. The crowd could be awful, or it could be amazing. You just never know what you're going to get until you get out there and do it. I just do my best and have fun.
There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.
I own four copies of Robin WIlliams's Live on Broadway comedy special for HBO. One in Wilmington, one in L.A., one in my trailer, and one at my parents' house. I can watch it over and over again and it never gets old. He is the funniest, wittiest man on the planet!
I was never treated differently. I never felt like I was lesser or I was discriminated against. I've only experienced that after I became an actor.
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Whoever lives in Berlin note, and doesn't die of Liberalism, will never die of vexation!
I joke that a person of color would never make a movie like 'Midnight in Paris.' Nostalgia isn't so enticing.
