I've Always Wanted To Introduce Hip-hop Filmmaking To Film. There's Hip-hop Art, Dance, Music, But There Really Isn't Hip-hop Film. So I Was Trying To Do That.

I've Been Joking That If Madonna Taught Us Anything, You've Got To Reinvent Yourself. I Think It's Important As A Filmmaker, As Any Person Working In The Arts, That You've Got To Try New Stuff And Challenge Yourself And Take Chances. I've Tried To Take A Chance With Every Film I've Done - I've Never Done It The Easy Way, And I Think That's Because That's What Excites Me, Is Making As Big A Mountain As I Can In Front Of Me, And Just Trying To Mount It.

I Think I Came To Film-making Through Writing. I Started To Write, And People, Teachers, Responded To My Writing.

The '90s Were A Party, I Mean Definitely Maybe Not For The Grunge Movement, But People Were Partying Harder In The '90s Than They Were In The '80s. The '90s Was Ecstasy, The '80s Was Yuppies. There Was That Whole Ecstasy Culture. People Were Having A Pretty Good Time In The '90s.

I Think It's Important As A Filmmaker, As Any Person Working In The Arts, That You've Got To Try New Stuff And Challenge Yourself And Take Chances.
