I like people to look like they're floating.

A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.

I wouldn't be doing motherfu**ing films for almost three decades if every time I did something that someone didn't like I went in a fu**ing cocoon and just hid there and didn't make my art.

If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.

Since the days of slavery, if you were a good singer or dancer, it was your job to perform for the master after dinner.

There's a lot of Americans, black and white, who think that we've arrived where we need to be and nothing else needs to be done and affirmative action needs to be dismantled.

America doesn't have the moral right to tell other people what to do. To say the whole world has to fall into line is you-know-what. I hope more people will rise up.
