You Have To Do The Research. If

I Don't Think My Films Are Going To Get Rid Of Racism Or Prejudice. I Think The Best Thing My Films Can Do Is Provoke Discussion.

I'll Be Vilified If I Shoot A Film In Toronto For New York. And Rightfully So!

Amongst Black People, You Have Always Heard It Said That Once A Black Man Reaches A Certain Level, Especially If You Are An Entertainer, You Get A White Trophy Woman. I Didn't Make That Up.

I Respect The Audience's Intelligence A Lot, And That's Why I Don't Try To Go For The Lowest Common Denominator.

I'm Always Open. I Try Not To Have A Closed Mind. In Fact The Only Reason Why I'm Able To Continue To Make Films Since 1986 Is I Have Been Adaptable. If I Weren't Flexible I Sure Wouldn't Be Making Films This Many Years As I've Been Doing It. I've Been Making A Film A Year Almost Since 1986 And That's Hard. That Ain't Easy.
