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

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.

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

I only want to make movies I want to see. That may mean my career is somewhat limited, but that is my version of integrity. No matter how it performs or how it's received, I can be okay with it.

There was a time - before I made movies - when I was more forgiving, but now that I've learned as much as I have, I want to do movies that I want to see, that have their own unique flavor.
