John Amos quotes:

I've never seen oil slicks covering such a large area in the Gulf of Mexico.

It was an ongoing struggle to say no, I don't want to be a part of the perpetuation of this stereotype.

They killed my character off and as God would have it, just when they told me I would never work again, I got cast in a little program called Roots, and as they would say, the rest is history.

Despite the fact that I had a writing background, they didn't want to accept whatever ideas I had as a writer.

To teach means scarcely anything more than to show how things differ from one another in their different purposes, forms, and origins. ... Therefore, he who differentiates well teaches well.
