Character Quote by Laurence Fishburne

“I play characters. I don't think I really have a persona per se. I don't play the same guy every time. I show up, you don't know what I'm gonna do. I like it that way. I've intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that's what's interesting.” quote by Laurence Fishburne — Download Open image
