'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.

I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.

What's the difference between Hollywood characters and my characters? Mine are real.

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

I am very fortunate I can send my kids to private school, but everybody does not have the money. If you cannot get your kid in a good school today, your kids are going to be behind the eight ball.

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