You can't boycott something you never went to anyway,so why put energy into it?

When you have a good movie, it's hard to categorize it. It's everything. It makes you laugh, makes you cry and makes you think.

That's always been my approach, to expose what's going on and what's not being said. I could go the selfish route, and probably make a whole lot more money, but that's not what it's about, it's about speaking for people who can't speak for themselves.

I always say the movie came out good if they want another one. That always tells me that people really liked the movie.

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.

When you go to a movie, you don't care for one Oscar, really. Do you care if a guy got a Oscar on the shelf or is it a good movie? And, you don't care how much the movie made.

When I did 'Boyz N The Hood', I never thought how we grew up in South Central was interesting enough for a movie.
