I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
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.
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
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.
