I once told a journalist that girls call me 'Kitten,' but I couldn't have been more sarcastic, and no matter how many times I've said that it was a joke, it still doesn't go away.

How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?

I don't have the slightest desire to speak over my dead brother. It gets on my nerves to always be compared with him. My brother was a magnificent person and an outstanding actor.

In every film, whether it's a fictional character or not, you create an idea of the character and for me I always do a bad impersonation to start with.

My music is going to be true. I'm not out to sell records. I'm experiencing something, and it's what I feel.

In most films - especially in regards to the protagonist - really from the get-go they set up some scenario that endears that character to the audience. Or imbues him with some nobility or heroism or something.

I love scripts about relationships, and I love to see puppy love evolving into this mature love and communication.
