My family was very, very receptive to all; all races, religions.

Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.

Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.

I will not be on this planet. I may come back in another form, and you know, I'll come back as a white man.

I think people will have great conversations about religions, women's sexuality, gender issues and gay issues.

The African-American community is not monolithic. It's liberal and conservative.

Coming from the '50s, things were very violent. We were still being lynched. If I drove down through the South with my mother, I might not make it through one state without being bullied or harassed. I feel like unless you've been black for a week, you don't know.
