I’m A Hypochondriac. Before I Go All

When I Do Short Films, I Try To Do Something Completely Out Of My Comfort Zone, Out Of My Element.

I'm Trying To Be A Little Bit More Mature About My Choices And Think About What I Want To Direct Next, Instead Of Just Jumping Into A Movie 'cause I Want To Do It.

I Love Everything Black, Because Black Is Cool. When Something Crosses Over, People Are Like, "oh, This Is A Crossover." First Of All, There Is No Urban Anymore. Pop Culture Is Black. White Kids Are Dressing Like Black Kids. It's All Crossed The Lines Now. The Way I Understand It Is, Everything Black Is Cool. When It Crosses Over To White, That Means It's Going From Cool To Uncool. That's What Crossover Is.

Less Money Sometimes Allows You To Be More Creative.

I Ask My Assistants If They're Retarded All The Time. When The Camera Is On You, Of Course, Actors Have The Ability To Make It Real. For Me, If I'm Not Talking, It Is A Problem. I Have So Much More Respect For Actors After Being In Front Of The Camera, And I Realize That The Hardest Part Is When You're Not Talking. Listening Is Harder Than Just Acting. Listening Is The Hardest Part.
