“I would love to take a crack at 'Long Day's Journey Into Night.'” — Courtney B. Vance Quote

I would love to take a crack at 'Long Day's Journey Into Night.'

It's one of the roles of a lifetime to be able to play someone like Mr. Cochran who was so influential. People knew about his work in regard to police brutality. He was very much a staple in the community - someone who, if there was trouble, people knew, 'Go get Johnnie Cochran.'

We have to give people dreams; we have to give people hope. In terms of government, in terms of society, that's our goal. You can't have a group of people that don't dream, that see themselves as dead or in jail.

When I got out of Yale Drama School, I was completely broke.

Flying is so miserable these days. You have to go through security, and get up at the crack of dawn.

It's the cushiest job, but some lines are so funny that I crack up.

I'm not so vocal. I try to get loud, but my voice will just crack or something.

I'm very good at getting up in the morning - so much of my life has been spent on film sets where we start at the crack of dawn.

In 'Malvolio,' the audience laugh at me, and I use that laughter to crack open the question as to why they are laughing.
