"I did not go into the film business to be symbolized as someone else's vision of me." — Sidney Poitier

So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.

My mother was the most amazing person. She taught me to be kind to other women. She believed in family. She was with my father from the first day they met. All that I am, she taught me.

We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection.

History passes the final judgment.
