I Think It Is Very Important That

I'm Trying To Keep Up With What's Happening In This Turbulent World.

Surprises Are Good. I'm Not Of The Thinking Where You Tell The Audience Everything. Sometimes I Don't Even Want To See The Trailers. You See The Trailer, You've Seen The Movie.

I've Always Tried To - When I've Been Able To - Support Young Artists, No Matter What Medium.

'25th Hour,' Like A Lot Of My Films, Takes Place In New York City. I've Been Very Fortunate To Make Films In The City That I Live. I Mean, It's Great Going Home At Night Instead Of Being On Location.

I Think Black People Have To Be In Control Of Their Own Image Because Film Is A Powerful Medium. We Can't Just Sit Back And Let Other People Define Our Existence.
