On a motorcycle, you can't really think about more than where you are. There's a freedom that comes with that - from stress, worry, sweating the small stuff.
I'm left-handed: I can think and feel at the same time. My feminine side is very highly developed.
In order to be the best version of yourself, you have to dedicate time, effort, and support to other people who need it.
Mine were informal mentors. They were all in my working life.
I certainly believe that being in contact with one's spirit and nurturing one's spirit is as important as nurturing one's body and mind. We are three dimensional beings: body, mind, spirit.
I don't believe in acting teachers for me, so it's God's joke that he gave me a best friend who's an acting teacher.
When I think of Othello, I think of a poet-warrior. Let me say that again - a romantic warrior. And I think I have those qualities in common with him.
I was in a movie with Marlon Brando. Now, I didn't have any scenes with Marlon Brando, but I had scenes with Martin Sheen and was around Dennis Hopper, who was a child actor in the studio system and was enamored of James Dean, as was Martin, and they were all sort of disciples of Brando.
I actually had the opportunity to stand at the lectern in the Supreme Court and face the justices, which was really a powerful thing for me.
I have heard a lot of people talk about this grind of series television. I have not seen it yet.
I learned tolerance at a very early age.
It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that.
I have a man cave somewhere in California - a totally undisclosed location where manly things occur. There are motorcycles, there are secret doors and passageways. Women are welcome, but they must knock.
As a man of colour, I've spent my life asking people to see me for who I am. With Obama in the White House, it feels like people have finally caught up to where I've been most of my life.
There's great theatre in New York City, but no New York City in theatre.
People think my name is Morpheus. Many times, people will say to me, 'Morpheus!' and I will complete the sentence by saying, 'is not my name!'
I'm not dyeing my hair and trying to pretend I'm 40. That's not going to work for me.
I have taken care of my gift, and because I've taken care of my gift, I feel like I've been continually and constantly blessed to get to do wonderful things.
It's my luck that I was born a bit of an old soul, and it's served me well.
It's nice to get the feedback from a theater audience. It's a gas.
