People sometimes forget all the films that we've done. They remember the likes of 'Malcolm X' and 'Do the Right Thing.' But I've been working since 1986. From the beginning, I was determined to not just be a flash in the pan. I've got to keep up with Woody Allen. He's lapping me.

I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.

When you love something it's not a job anymore.

Racism in America absolutely exists - it is an issue. We need to fix it. We're a great country - probably the greatest country but we could be a hell of a lot greater.

First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.

I like to work with the same people when I can, and you want to get people with the same interests that you have, and the same aesthetic.

I like people to look like they're floating.
