Mario Van Peebles's quotes

  • I had unusual parents. We'd been to Europe. We'd been in the theater. We were sort of like the Addams Family.
  • I went from being 'Mario who?' to 'Mario baby!
  • I'm not in business to make money.
  • My father told me you have two loves in your life: What you do and the people you're with.
  • There is definitely places in America where, if you're born into that environment, your chances of getting out are really, really limited.
  • We think birth is a miracle and death is a tragedy, but really they're flip sides of the same coin - anything born is gonna die.
  • When I came out to Hollywood, I discovered the perfect place for my creative madness - Cannon Pictures.
  • When you make a film that is based in reality, reality will come up all around it.
  • If I or any other black can deliver at the box office, I'll get a lot of work. Too many young actors, regardless of their color, try to play an attitude on camera and fail to remember their job is to fit into an entertainment.
  • If you sort of treat the environment in sort of this mechanical, industrial way that there's a disconnect between man and the environment, it's very easy to treat people that way.
  • My dad always said there's four phases in an actor/director's life. There's 'Mario Who?' There's 'Get me Mario!' 'Get me a young Mario,' and 'Mario Who?'
  • My father, Melvin van Peebles, and my mother were both very active politically when I was a kid. The first time I was allowed to stay up late was to attend a demonstration.
  • No matter what color you are, if you mentor some little boy or girl, you make a huge difference in their lives because they then model behavior that leads to success versus modeling behavior that doesn't.
