Because Many Advances Have Happened, We've Lost

'she's Gotta Have It' Was Shot In Twelve Days And Two Six-day Weeks.

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.

I Never Understood The Concept Of Showing Everything In The Trailer. Why Go To A Movie If There's No Surprise? I Can't Do It Like That.

I Think Black People Have To Be In Control Of Their Own Image Because Film Is A Powerful Medium. We Can't Just Sit Back And Let Other People Define Our Existence.

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