I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds.

The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they're artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.

Over the past 10 years of being famous, my relationship with the camera has not been a pleasant one.

Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.

The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.

To me, White Boy Shuffle is sort of like Catcher in the Rye, the story is so universal.

But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.
