I Don't Know How I Did It,

Yes, You Can Have Art Films About The Triumph Of The Human Spirit And All Of That, But You'll Have It Done With A Big-budget Icon With A $20 Million Salary. You'll Have Julia Roberts, You'll Have Robert Redford, You'll Have Russell Crowe Doing Those Films, Because If They're Going To Cost $90 Million, They're Going To Make That Movie For A Public That's Very Large And Mainstream. They're Not Going To Make It For Three Or Four Million Black People.

Out Of Necessity Comes Genius.

Does A Black Person Make Them An African American? No. There Are Hispanics That Are Very, Very Dark Skinned So The Word Has Lost Its Meaning, It's Not A Very Concise Or Proper Word To Use Even Today And It Wasn't Then.

If You're Stupid And You're Arrogant, You're Going To Get Hurt.

When You Come From An Environment That's Military, And They Don't Stress That Topic Of Aesthetics Or Beauty Pageants And Makeup, There Are A Lot Of Things You Just Don't Have That City Girls Have. Or The Country Girl Who Goes To Movies And Dreams Of Going To Hollywood As An Actress.
