Haywood Nelson Quotations

Some might not know that 'What's Happening' was the television version of 'Cooly High.' When I went on the audition, it was an audition for exactly that: the TV version of the movie.

I love people who are fearless, and I'm a spiritual guy, so I connect with people spiritually.

I'm blessed, and people's responses to me have never been negative.

I had the opportunity to do what I enjoy.

Hold on to that. You have an autograph. I'm going to be famous some day.

I hope that when people see my body of work, they will say, 'That brother dropped it for real on us, even at the expense of his own image.'

I stayed close to my family. My family never changed.

My family was my guide to my reality.
