I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.

You gotta make your own way. You gotta find a way. You gotta get it done. It's hard. It's tough. That's what I tell my students every day in class. I've been very fortunate. Some people might call me a hardhead, but I'm not going to let other people dictate to me who I should be or the stories I should tell. That doesn't register with me.

I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.

I don't get tripped up in technology. I use technology as a tool. 'Oldboy' we shot Two Pro 35mm. For 'Da Blood of Jesus,' we shot digitally. We shot the new Sony F55. It's a 4K camera.

I think my work shows that I love women. I understand where these types of criticisms are coming from because black people have been so dogged out in the media, they're just extra sensitive.

I don't think I'm a total pessimist, so I think you can find hope in all my films.

I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
