If You Do Not Have Courage, You

It Was Actually A Lot More Helpful To Have Calvin Hart, A Cop, As My Template. He Was Also My Technical Advisor On Shaft. This Time, I Kinda Got To Go To Jersey City With Him, And Hang Around, And Watch Him Interact With Other Cops, People In The Projects, And See What It Means To Be Him. People Call Him 'big Daddy' And He's This Larger-than-life Hero To A Lot Of People.

If You Do Not Have Courage, You May Not Have The Opportunity To Use Any Of Your Other Virtues.

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.

Any Changes That I Made To My Line, I Asked If I Could Make Them, Which I Do In Every Movie. So Far Everybody's Been Gracious Enough To Say Yes. The Only Improvising I Do Is In The Movies I Do With Chris Guest, Which Is What We Do.

I've Never Been To Jail. I've Never Been Arrested. I've Never Been Locked Up.
