I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.

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.

An appreciable number of directors have shifted to lower-cost films, allowing them to be satisfied with a more modest return.

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.

I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.

If you apologize because you are afraid, then you are a child not a man.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.
