Random quote of the day:

Random quote of the day:

“There’s this little box that African-American actors have to work in, in the first place, and I was able to rise above that box. I could have done a bunch of movies where I stayed as the Axel Foley or Reggie Hammond persona. But I didn’t want to be doing the same thing all the time. Every now and then, you crash and burn, but that’s part of it.”

—Eddie Murphy, Rolling Stone, November 9, 2011

Random quote of the day:

“Can any book represent all of one culture? Need it? Should we suppress books that include Irish drunks, Italian gangsters, ghetto gangs, even if accurate, because they do not adequately represent the many who are abstemious, law-abiding, upwardly mobile?”

—Anna Quindlen, “Public and Private: Two World Views,”
The New York Times, June 29, 1994
