I live for myself and answer to nobody

Sometimes you have to say goodbye to the things you know and hello to the things you dont.

The world is as good as you are. You've got to learn to like yourself first.

I want people to do what they want to do because when they feel comfortable it seems to translate better on screen. It is when you put people in a straitjacket that it doesn't seem to translate very well at all. The individuals I work with are usually people I know.

I worked hard, and if you work hard you get the goodies.

When I walk out into the street or go to the toilet, I don't think of myself as being black. Of course, other people think of me as black when I walk into a pub. Obviously being black is a part of me.

The camera movement should be like a cat jumping onto a table - with just enough amount of effort and that's it. That's enough.
