For me, I believe in God, God is real.

Most human beings will not stand in front of a stage and tell you about the bad things they did.

Because many advances have happened, we've lost the urgency (and that's just human nature) that we had before, when we couldn't vote, couldn't use mass transportation, or drink from the fountains.

I am trying to stay away from this position of me "returning to my roots." As if my roots are that I'm only comfortable working on low-budget, small films. That's not the case at all.

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.

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It was a holocaust. My ancestors are slaves. Stolen from Africa. I will honor them.
