The upside of being a part of a post-civil rights generation is that black folks really are more diverse. But the flash point for that diversity is caught up in Hip Hop. So you have a generation that says, 'I'm gonna wear my sneakers, and I'm gonna wear my pants how I like themThen you have a generation that says, 'I did not get bit by dogs for you to conduct yourself this way. Then the younger generation says, 'Yes, you did. This is what freedom means.'

There was a period that black film had no chance of making it in Hollywood. So, people just made the made the statements that they wanted to make. Whether it was a science fiction film or whatever, b/c they were just making movie for themselves. Then there was a period where people were creating projects as their Hollywood audition 'pieces'. I feel that today we are moving back to the era where we all have our own voices.

I'm nothing you can catch now. I am black powder, I am singe, I am the bomb that bursts the night.
I want to emphasize the idea of black as intellectuality and conventionality.
There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow.
In theory, cars are fairly simple. If they don't start, it's either the fuel system or the electrical system. Teach yourself about the path of each in your engine and tracing it is fairly straightforward. But at the beginning, mastering each new system seems like an unreachable shore. The car is effectively a black box.
The only difference is now more young black men are in the spotlight.
I'm not the biggest comic book fan.
You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
Modern dancers give a sinister portent about our times.
I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition
The self is the modern substitute for the soul.
