I'm Trying To Keep Up With What's

We're The Most Violent Nation On Earth. There's No Getting Away From That. But You've Got To Look At It On A Broader Level.

Making Films Has Got To Be One Of The Hardest Endeavors Known To Humankind.

If We Became Students Of Malcolm X, We Would Not Have Young Black Men Out There Killing Each Other Like They're Killing Each Other Now. Young Black Men Would Not Be Impregnating Young Black Women At The Rate Going On Now. We'd Not Have The Drugs We Have Now, Or The Alcoholism.

As We Move Toward The Millennium, The Year 2000, The Most Powerful Nations Are Not Those That Have Nuclear Bombs, But Those That Control The Media. That's Where The Battle Is Being Fought; That Is How You Control People's Minds.

I'm Just Trying To Tell A Good Story And Make Thought-provoking, Entertaining Films. I Just Try And Draw Upon The Great Culture We Have As A People, From Music, Novels, The Streets.
