When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.

I've been smokin' ever since I was two.

I travel. I do a lot of traveling around the world.

Just believe in yourself and work really hard. And when doors open, take advantage of every opportunity you can.

What!? You tell people that, I won't get no more black movies?

Everybody goes through a lot of the same things, and I talk about those, and that's the key. You have to connect with your audience, and I might take them on a trip with me, tell them I went here and I went there and they'll go with me, you know, to hear the stories.

I think my life is a movie and your life reflects your work.
