“In the early days of my carer as an actor, I shared what was then the prevailing attitude of Negro performers :;that the content and form of a play or a film scenario was of little importance to us. What mattered was was the opportunity, which came so seldom to our folks ...

I wouldn't be where I am today if I had that attitude, if I had been afraid to be on my own.”
