The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ving Rhames
- I think quite a bit of organized religion has become big business. Jesus Christ never sold the word of God. He never gave a sermon and then said, ‘For $8.99, you can buy the CD.’
- I’m a God-fearing man, and I know the only reason why I am here going from poverty to where I am now is God has His hand on my life. I tell people, ‘I didn’t choose acting; God chose me to act.’
- My wife is a former homicide detective, LAPD. The wonderful thing that I was able to capture is my wife’s experiences from human and professional, and how do you deal with some of the atrocities that happen in L.A. and not bring them home.
- It’s really how you deal with people. Do people respect you? Are you honest with people even if it’s something they don’t want to hear? Anyone in Hollywood will tell you I’m extremely up front and honest almost to a fault.
- ‘Mission: Impossible’ is fun. But for myself as an artist, I’m really more concerned with the human condition, the human experience, especially from an African American point of view.
- Rosewood is what Americans did to Americans. We have to hold the mirror up… and look at ourselves. Sometimes that’s an ugly sight. And sometimes you have to go through that pain – both black America and white America – so we can finally find some racial harmony.
- The more versatile you make yourself, the more work you get. Training makes you more versatile and ultimately gets you more work. Julliard taught me that.
- When I think of the trials and tribulations that black men go through in America and that black artists went through, I feel very privileged.
- You can feel I am whatever you want to feel I am. God knows who I am, and I know who I am.
- I live a very simple life.
