Keith David Quotes

• I loved old movies as a kid, so I always watched old movies.
• In fact, I have never met anyone who didn’t like Gargoyles.
• It can’t hurt, publicity is publicity, controversy and all that, it’s all good.
• My whole life, I always wanted to be an actor.
• Well, you know, I played Mufasa in the workshop of The Lion King.
• What has been happening more lately – of course, I also put in my bio, I say I do the voice of Goliath, but some people go – you know, I say something, and it’s a funny thing when you work in this business, people will talk out loud in front of you like you’re not there.
• And it has some weight, I mean, the whole history of the gargoyles, that’s some wonderful stuff.
• But Gargoyles, bar none, is the most fun I’ve ever had in life.
• I am working on my nightclub act, definitely want to do more singing.
• I came out singing, the doctor slapped me on the head, and I started singing.
• I don’t think they’re going to pay me to play Mufasa.
• You get to celebrate the content of someone’s character as opposed to the color of their skin or their outward appearance. That to me is the most impressive element about Gargoyles (1994) because it forces you to deal with who they are. Not what they look like or anything external. You are dealing with internal principles about these people.
• [on Gargoyles (1994)] I was very moved by Goliath. I was moved by playing him. They’re not displaced citizens but they are citizens from another time and another place that were placed in this modern context and maintained that integrity.
• Actually, I wanted to be an actor when I was two years old.
