The problem - when it comes to contemporary roles - is not whether I should play Black characters, it’s what kind of Black characters I should play. There has been kind of a social requirement that a Black actor must create a fantasy like the Super Fly character to fit the needs of a ghetto constituency, no matter how much of a distortion it is. I can’t do that. - James Earl Jones
