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

People are sheepish when they approach me.

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

You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.

A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.

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.

The idea of doing something that you've seen a thousand times before doesn't appeal to me.
