Richard Roundtree Quotes
When you go into a film, you read it, and something clicks for you, and you like it, and you sign on for it; you go for it. You know that this is going to be a good film, and that is your best hope. Past that, it's a crap shoot - you roll the dice.

In the second place, and more important, nobody knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.”

I was born here, I was raised in the U.S., and I'm an American first, but also very proud of my heritage.
