Some people get divorced, they leave the person for a couple of years, then they remarry. Relationships are very, very strange.

When I find material that gives me a natural yet unique character point of view and has well - developed characters throughout the script, it makes the hairs on my arm stand up.

You see a lot of Baptist churches in Harlem, you see a lot of the same kind of cuisine, the soul food - there's a lot of places that remind you of its southern roots.

Never say "never" about anything, because if you do, life has a way of humbling you.

Most of the people you look at in the early days of Harlem - the zoot suits, the music, the style of fashion, the vibrant colors - that's all influences from the south.

I'm pretty relaxed on what people should be able to do as long as they're not hurting anybody else.

Harlem is really a melting pot for a lot of different people.
