You're 5 feet nothing, a hundred and nothing.

I don't even know if I can call myself a director.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.

What I learned as an actor was the only way you could really do August Wilson's work, you had to leave an ounce of your essence on that stage,... Otherwise it was impossible.

First of all, you look at Rocky films now, and if that isn't a cartoon series there isn't any cartoon series. I mean there's no way anybody is going to take that amount of punishment in fifteen rounds.

And like everybody else, I like the Rocky movies, but if you look at them again you can see all the misses, but the intensity of it, but that wasn't what this is.

I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.
