You know if we were to look back and how we were in 1955 living in Jim Crow, living in segregation, living in segregated schools, it's hard to believe that it was America, but it really was.

Movies, as evidenced by a chorus of protesting and celebrating Americans, influence broader trends.

If you say a word often enough it becomes you.

Then everyone leaves, and you are left, each night, to your own devices with a crowd of interesting people - most of whom you don't know - sitting in the dark.

I love studying how people are. Not just what they're saying, but how they are, what they're doing.

Art simply can’t be stopped.

I see myself first and foremost as a student of expression.
