I even asked [Saniyya Sidney] why she wanted to be an actor and she said, I'm serious about this. These other little kids they want to play, and I don't have time for that.

As an actor in the theater you're taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can't say, Oh, I'm a bad guy. How do you play that?

You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.

When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!

Michelle Pfeiffer hasn't been finding a lot of work recently because she doesn't like what a woman her age is offered. That's a real double standard. You get Sean Connery, who gets older and older, still playing opposite young ladies, but it doesn't work the other way around.

The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.

Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: My god is right, yours is wrong. Religion to me is the human condition. If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian. That to me is religion.

I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.

I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.

I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.

Taking the money from drug operations and all that sort of stuff is something that goes past what most of us in society would expect a policeman should do. That temptation hits the police force at the same time as the temptation to take those drugs that are readily available hits the people on the streets.

I think we're fascinated by gangsters and that whole lifestyle and crossing the line. We get sort of stuck in our normal lives, if you will, and you want to be bigger than life and I think people somehow live through these sorts of characters.

In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.

I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.

We live in a time when people give up too easy.

I just try to be honest and true to the character and play the part.

Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.

We've all had some level of injustice, whether 20 years in prison, or 20 minutes sitting in your car waiting for a police officer to determine your future. Or even a few moments in an elevator with some woman clutching her purse thinking you're going to rob her ¾ regardless of celebrity, that has happened to me.

You don't have to kill somebody to play a murderer. You have to read the script and interpret the character.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
