I consider Madonna a friend, and she sure knows how to work the publicity machine. Of course, I don't have breasts. If I did have, I'd be in the number one spot over Madonna.

You gotta make your own way. You gotta find a way. You gotta get it done. It's hard. It's tough. That's what I tell my students every day in class. I've been very fortunate. Some people might call me a hardhead, but I'm not going to let other people dictate to me who I should be or the stories I should tell. That doesn't register with me.

I think the best actors in the world are here in New York City. And this city is just so vibrant the energy is just phenomenal. Great crews here. All the technicians, all the artists that work in this industry. I've just been very happy with the body that we've been able to do, especially those films we shot here in New York City.

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.

I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.

A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.

I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.

'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.

If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.

I don't think my films are going to get rid of racism or prejudice. I think the best thing my films can do is provoke discussion.

I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.

Since the days of slavery, if you were a good singer or dancer, it was your job to perform for the master after dinner.
