Surprises are good. I'm not of the thinking where you tell the audience everything. Sometimes I don't even want to see the trailers. You see the trailer, you've seen the movie.

I'm not the go-to guy. Everybody is trying to tell their story and have different ways of telling it.

I used the principles of Kickstarter to make 'She's Gotta Have It.' We filmed that in 1985 to 1986. The final cost was $175,000. I didn't have that money. It was friends, grants, donations. We saved our bottles for the nickel deposit.

I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.

I had a great education. From kindergarten to John Dewey High School in Coney Island, I am public-school educated.

I've got "Sometimers." Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.
