I’ve consequently played a lot of different cops from a lot of different kind of law enforcement agencies.

I'm pretty focused on what I do. I think directing is a very specific talent, and I'm not real big on putting puzzles together, which is basically what a film is.

I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.

Certain comedians work with certain actors; like Adam Sandler worked with Jack Nicholson.

It was fun to be in a scene again with [my wife LaTanya Richardson]. We used to do plays together all the time. We hadn't really worked together since Losing Isaiah [1995]. That was kind of early on in both of our cinematic careers. Things have changed a little bit since then.

I said to George Lucas, "I'd like a purple lightsaber." And he said, "Why?" and I said, "I just want to be able to find myself. I'm the most powerful Jedi in the universe, and I think it would be an interesting thing for me to have a different color lightsaber than anybody else."

Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.
