We grew up in a very creative environment and were exposed to the arts at a very young age, so it's not a surprise that all of us are in some form of the arts.

I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.

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'll be vilified if I shoot a film in Toronto for New York. And rightfully so!

I like to work with the same people when I can, and you want to get people with the same interests that you have, and the same aesthetic.

I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.

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