'do The Right Thing' Was Like The

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 Like People To Look Like They're Floating.

I May Have Been Born Yesterday, But I Stayed Up All Night.

I've Always Tried To - When I've Been Able To - Support Young Artists, No Matter What Medium.

I Am Trying To Stay Away From This Position Of Me "returning To My Roots." As If My Roots Are That I'm Only Comfortable Working On Low-budget, Small Films. That's Not The Case At All.
