There are films that I don't like, and then someone will come up to me and say it's their favorite movie. The movies belong to the people. You make them and you put them out. For me, I love the process of making films. For me, my favorite film is always my next one.

Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.

By the way, sitting with other mommies is probably the most frightening experience in the entire world. They're serious into mommy-shaming.

You'll see some great performances [in Fences]. And I'm not just saying that because I directed it either! You'll see!

Just stick with your kids. There's no set of rules on how to be a parent. No handbook. Just hang around your kids and ask them a lot of questions. You have to stay involved in your children's lives and monitor everything they're doing whether they like it or not. You're not in the job of making them like it. You're there to protect them in a world that can be troubling.
