"The first thing I do is let people……" — Michael Clarke Duncan
"The first thing I do is let people know I'm not Ving Rhames. Once I do that, everything else is cool. Every place I go, people think I'm Ving Rhames. They're like, 'I love Pulp Fiction, I love Rosewood, I love Mission: Impossible.' And I'm like, "Uh, that's not me". So if I can get people past that, the Oscar doesn't matter. If I can get them to know my name, Michael Clarke Duncan, and not Ving Rhames, man, that will be enough for me."
