Forest Whitaker : (3) " I fell through a stage once. I was doing a truly African dance, and all of a sudden, I hit the ground with my foot and went straight through the stage. I guess they didn’t have much money, so the floor was kind of rotting. " - Forest Whitaker " I try to live my life in a holistic way, show that all of it intersects because I’m coming from the same place. Now, at the core of it, I’m just trying to connect and be there, so I’m trying to be there for my family, my wife, my kids, my friends. " - Forest Whitaker " It’s tough when you have to be away. But I’m probably at home more than my dad was because he was working two or three jobs sometimes. " - Forest Whitaker
