This weird thing happens when you're in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things and they just expect you to do them because they'll be good for your career. It's not about the project's integrity or anything like that.

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.

I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available knowable and recorded by everyone all the time.

Terms like that 'Humane Society ' are devised with people like me in mind who don't care to dwell on what happens to the innocent.

Smile at a stranger. See what happens.

I like science fiction and physics things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes and the various vortexes that create possibility and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man and that's why I'm attracted to it.

With respect to Barack Obama let's face it Barack Obama is an iconic figure in the African-American community. We respect that. We understand that. African-Americans are going to vote for the first black president especially when he happens to share the liberal politics on economic issues that many in that community hold.

Hopefully this movie will help people understand that if a child is never given the tools to know how to love others and love and respect themselves this is what happens.

I got a nomination for director which means the world to me it's just the most exciting thing for me and my family. You do the good hard work and the rest of it is something you shouldn't get too caught up in but when it happens - boy! I respect it.

I'm a person that doesn't have that many goals or plans. I feel like I'm the wind and I blow through life it's whatever comes to me. I very much respect nature. Whatever happens to me I'm happy and I embrace it.
