ADD QUOTES
- ( When Michael took Hanks hand in The Green Mile) Michael Clarke Duncan: We did one of those scenes where I take his hand and show him some things, ... and I remember Frank saying, 'Cut,' and everybody was just silent for a couple of minutes. Everybody was kind of crying. Tom was still crying. I was still crying. Frank didn't even know what to say. That was a moment I will never forget
  Edit Share Hide
- ( When running into one of his fans) Michael Clarke Duncan: He turned around and he looked at me and he said, 'You are exactly what I pictured in my mind that John Coffey looked like,' ... All my questions went away.
  Edit Share Hide
- (about keeping his emotions in between takes) Michael Clarke Duncan: You know, the only thing that was distracting was when you have your emotion up and they're changing the lights or they're changing the camera angles. You have to realize the emotion has to stay up. You can't go in the corner and say, "I'm gonna cool out for a minute. Let me know when you want me to cry again." I can't do that.
