Hair Is Very, Very Distinctive. I Started That With That Boxing Movie I Did, The Great White Hype. The Director Wanted Me To Look Like Don King, And Everybody Knew Who Don King Was. But I Didn't Want To Be Don King. I Wanted The Man To Be Rev. Fred Sultan, So I Decided To Make Him Look Like Julius Caesar. And From That Point On, I Just Decided, I Had This Great Wig-maker, So I Just Found Hairstyles That I Felt Would Be Distinctive For Every Character. Like An Adventure.

When The Riots Happened In L.a., They Didn't Go To Beverly Hills To Trash Rodeo Drive. They Trashed Their Own Neighborhoods. It's One Of Those Tragedies That We Always See In Riot Situations, Where The Only Thing That They Can Lash Out Against Is The Stuff That's Right There In Their Own Communities. They Destroy The Very Things That Help Them Survive In Their Own Community. There Is A Level Of Futility In That.
