Are there any clips from your early work that you're hoping don't get shown at the dinner?

Morgan Freeman: No. It's not that I'm proud of everything I've done; I just don't care. All my work has always been out there.

THR: Speaking of your work, what do you recall most about your early days on the PBS children's show "The Electric Company"?

Freeman: My agents and I agreed that I would do the show for a couple of years, enjoy it and then move on -- but I stayed with it for five years. My best memories are of the first couple of years when we were doing a lot of very creative, free-range stuff.

THR: Was any of it improvised?
