More In Respect "So now I feel I’m lucky in the respect that I can sort of pick a little more carefully, which is tricky because as a black actress, there aren’t that many roles to pick from."― Rachel True "It’s nice to know that people appreciate and respect you."― Marcel Carne "There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you."― William Hazlitt
