I went to a public high school and most of the comedy was coming from the black kids and the Asian kids and the Hispanic kids. And, the coolest kids to me where always the black kids. They were always fashion forward and they always dressed the coolest. They were always the best dancers, and just the coolest people.
Brett RatnerI love everything black, because black is cool. When something crosses over, people are like, "Oh, this is a crossover." First of all, there is no urban anymore. Pop culture is black. White kids are dressing like black kids. It's all crossed the lines now. The way I understand it is, everything black is cool. When it crosses over to white, that means it's going from cool to uncool. That's what crossover is.
Brett RatnerI used to date Olivia Munn... But when she was 'Lisa,' that was the problem. She wasn't Asian back then.
Brett RatnerI got a Super 8 camera when I was eight years old, and I just wanted to tell stories - I love telling stories.
Brett RatnerProducing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job.
Brett RatnerThere's no greater feeling than people coming up to me and going, "Man, my father was dying, and we went to see Rush Hour, and it was the greatest night we had in years together. We sat in that theater and we laughed for two hours without stopping. That was just a great memory that I had before my father died."
