Sidney Poitier

My father was very big on marriage.

So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.

If I'm remembered for having done a few good things, and if my presence here has sparked some good energies, that's plenty.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
