I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.

Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn't think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't think people have been able to deal with the fact that African American filmmakers can make movies about life and relationships.

If you're in the position to help someone and you do it, it's very rewarding.

You had to know how to fight or you had to know how to avoid a fight. I didn't enjoy fighting, so I learned how to avoid them.

When you make the judgement as a network that there are only three candidates, you are censoring points of view.

I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.
