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.

I'm a storyteller, and there's some genres I like. I don't think I'm ever going to do science fiction, but I want to do a musical one day. I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.

And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.

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

I don't like acting; not in front of the camera.

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.

I'm just trying to tell a good story and make thought-provoking, entertaining films. I just try and draw upon the great culture we have as a people, from music, novels, the streets.
