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

As a people we do not need anyone else's stamp of approval.

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.

Any film I do is not going to change the way black women have been portrayed, or black people have been portrayed, in cinema since the days of D.W. Griffith.

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

I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
