I have always tried...to lay before the colored race a cross section of it's own life, to view the colored heart from close range.

My long experience with all classes of humanity had made me somewhat of a student of human nature.

We want to see our lives dramatized on the screen as we are living it, the same as other people, the world over.

Moving pictures have become one of the greatest revitalizing forces in race adjustment.

What I like best is a good story with a moral.

Honest, intelligent criticism is an aid to the progress of an effort.

Your self image is so powerful it unwittingly becomes your destiny.
