I May Have Been Born

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

I Don't Really Analyze My Stuff When I Write. I Write About Stuff That I'm Interested In, That I'm Feeling At That Particular Time. When I Stand Back And Look At The Complete Work, I Might See Themes That Run Through The Whole Film, But I'm Not Really Conscious Of It When I'm Doing It.

I Think It Would Be Very Boring Dramatically To Have A Film Where Everybody Was A Lawyer Or Doctor And Had No Faults. To Me, The Most Important Thing Is To Be Truthful.

I Am Trying To Stay Away From This Position Of Me "returning To My Roots." As If My Roots Are That I'm Only Comfortable Working On Low-budget, Small Films. That's Not The Case At All.

Any Film I Do Is Not Going To Change The Way Black Women Have Been Portrayed, Or Black People Have Been Portrayed, In Cinema Since The Days Of D.w. Griffith.
