"I think of film when I paint. Even the luminosity that I always keep working for is really about fil..." — Billy Dee Williams

I don't know. You know, when I'm not acting, I'm not an actor. I'm just a person. That's how I go through life. I'd rather not - you know, like a lot of actors, you know, they spend their whole 24 hours a day being an actor.

I think I've been very fortunate, considering the obstacles that I had to deal with, you know, just being - by virtue of being a brown, lovely, brown-skinned man. But on the other hand, I've been able to make a good living, and I've been able to take care of my family, which is most important to me.

I always admired my father because he was a man that never put on any airs, you know. And I always tried to be that kind of person.

I am an artist no matter what I do. I live for creativity. I think everyone should. It is the antithesis of being destructive.
