You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.

And there's also not enough films that are more of a imitation of what real life looks like.

And what happens a lot of times when - let's just speak specifically white and black - when white or black people feel misunderstood when it comes to talking about race, they immediately get defensive.

I think I've been lucky in the regard to have a team that sees me as an artist.

I don't think something is a failure if you put your all into it. I'm a big fan of the saying, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."

Men. You can't live with them, you can't... no. That's about it.

I stay in tune with my family and God.
