I try to make classics. I don't try to make things that aren't good. It's always a pleasure to see that people care about the kind of music I'm making.

It's important to the world to see superheroes that are spread across our demographic.

Blaxploitation films were black films targeting black people. They were films made to appeal to a culture in a way that was supposed to be unfiltered.

I think that being a film composer, someone that gets it and actually applies the music, it allows you to open up a spectrum of feeling. You're now allowed to approach the music from an audio visual perspective.

The easy answer is to say that it's a part for black people to see black heroes, but to me it's important to young Mexican kids to see a black hero.

When you get above the line, you're above the line. So my thing is I just want to make music where I am always above that line.

To me, when something is classic, whether it came out today or thirty years ago, it falls all in the same pot.
