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

People of color have a constant frustration of not being represented, or being misrepresented, and these images go around the world.

I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.

I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.

We’ve gone through the names—Negro, African American, African, Black. For me that’s an indication of a people still trying to find their identity. Who determines what is black?

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

A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
