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.

I consider Madonna a friend, and she sure knows how to work the publicity machine. Of course, I don't have breasts. If I did have, I'd be in the number one spot over Madonna.

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

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 know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.

I always give the example, if you turn on the radio today, black radio, Lenny Kravitz is not black. Bob Marley wasn't black: in the beginning, only white college stations played Bob Marley.

If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.
