I Tend To Favour Films That Have

I Don't Think I'm A Total Pessimist, So I Think You Can Find Hope In All My Films.

I Think My Work Shows That I Love Women. I Understand Where These Types Of Criticisms Are Coming From Because Black People Have Been So Dogged Out In The Media, They're Just Extra Sensitive.

Power Is Knowing Your Past.

I Decided To Be A Filmmaker Between My Sophomore And Junior Years At Morehouse. Before I Left For The Summer Of 1977, My Advisor Told Me I Really Had To Declare A Major When I Came Back, Because I'd Used All My Electives In My First Two Years. I Went Back To New York And I Couldn't Find A Job. There Were None To Be Had. And That Previous Christmas Someone Gave Me A Super-8 Camera, So I Just Started To Shoot Stuff.

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.
