I Didn't Dream About Being A Director.

If People Go To Imdb, They Will See That I'm Very Comfortable With Independent Cinema, And Doing Studio Films Too. For Me This Is Not An Either/or Situation.

What's The Difference Between Hollywood Characters And My Characters? Mine Are Real.

I Mean, I Think There's A Lot Of Hope In My Work. I Don't Think I'm A Total Pessimist, So I Think You Can Find Hope In All My Films. Some More Than Others, But There's Definitely... I Think We Want To Convey The Feeling Of Hope With The Montage At The End.

As A People We Do Not Need Anyone Else's Stamp Of Approval.

Any Film I Do Is Not Going To Change The Way Black Women Have Been Portrayed, Or Black People Have Been Portrayed, In Cinema Since The Days Of D.w. Griffith.
