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.

Years ago, even prior to 9/11, I did a movie called The Siege. I did a lot of research with the FBI and the CIA. And I was amazed at that time (I guess we might all know it now) how little information they shared with each other. So after that, I'm not surprised by anything.

It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.

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.

If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.

[Russel Crowe] has been through a lot and had a lot of success. No one knew who he was when I worked with him 12 years ago. He's just come off a great film in Australia- Romper Stomper - and so it was good to see him again. Obviously, I'd seen him since.

I'm very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That's my cultural historical background, my genetic make-up, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.

At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what you've done with those accomplishments. Its about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It about what you've given back (23).

In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.

I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

You don't pick black actors or black directors because they are black. You pick them because they are good. If you lend somebody 50 million dollars you want you're money back. You don't care if they are oppressed. You just want you're money back.

I don't look back, no. Maybe when I'm older people say, 'What's your favorite film?' I say, 'My next one.' I'm not interested in sitting around I just don't, never have.

Some said America took a step forward electing a black president. In light of the unconstitutiona l expansion of powers, lack of transparency and fueling the fires of unrest that clearly hasn't been the case. Vote based on merits, not to fill a racial quota.

One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.

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.

[Having monologue] are talking to somebody even if it's just to yourself, convince yourself if that's what you're trying to do.

You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.

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

So you never know who you touch. You never know how or when you'll have an impact, or how important your example can be to someone else (20).
