If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.

When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.

I appreciate the female foot, but I've never said that I have a foot fetish. But I am a lower track guy. I like legs' I like booties'. I have a black male sexuality.

My parents said, Oh, he's going to be a director someday. I wanted to be an actor.

I try not to get analytical in the writing process. I try to just kind of keep the flow from my brain to my hand as far as the pen is concerned and go with the moment and go with my guts.

To really get to know people and discover humanity, which is what I truly think writers and actors do, you've got to be interested in other human beings, you have to be interested in humanity in general, and you have to do some discovering of humanity and different people.
