I'm A Southern Gentleman.

I Didn't Have A Knee-jerk Reaction Like Some People Did To The Language And The Violence. My Stepfather Was A History Teacher At Lincoln High School In Dallas. So, I Was Already Familiar With The N-word And The Brutality Of Slavery. What I Was Drawn To Was The Love Story Between Django And Broomhilda And How He Defends And Gets The Girl In The End. I Thought It Was Just An Amazing And Courageous Project.

We Can't Wave A Magic Wand And Get Rid Of Any Of These People's Problems, But What They Want Is They Want To Be Heard.

Guys Don't Adapt As Well As Women Do To Getting Their Heart Broken For The First Time. It's Tragic. I Really Wanted To Be In Love, Get Married, Have Kids And Buy A Wood-paneled Station Wagon For The Family. But It Didn't Work Out, And, Boy, It Wrecked It!

That's What's Great About The Arts. Everything Inspires You, And You Get A Chance To Grow From Watching Other People And How They Do Their Work.

In Our Music, In Our Everyday Life, There Are So Many Negative Things. Why Not Have Something Positive And Stamp It With Blackness?
