I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

I'll always be chasing you... Glory.

I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.

The impact of the black audience is expressing itself. They look to films to be more expressive of their needs, their lives. Hollywood has gotten that message - finally.

So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.
