A film goes through so many hands, that by the time it's done, it might not resemble what you thought you were making.
I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.
I will no longer be an actor to hire, I have a passion for producing and making films.
The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.
To be more involved and more aware is appealing to me.
To me, White Boy Shuffle is sort of like Catcher in the Rye, the story is so universal.
You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.
Being a father is the greatest achievement and the most important thing about me. I have two great kids, no question.
There are a lot of good stories out there, but I haven't found too many great scripts.
Tarantino's movies, I really enjoy, certainly, and when I was 19 and 20, I was really into them.
I've written something and I would like to have my first film directed by the time I'm 30.
I'm really interested in having a studio one day and being a filmmaker.
I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds.
Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.
