Don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest.

When you love something it's not a job anymore.

American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It was a holocaust. My ancestors are slaves. Stolen from Africa. I will honor them.

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

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

It comes down to this: black people were stripped of our identities when we were brought here, and it's been a quest since then to define who we are.

I really don't deal with hypotheticals.
