When I Was A Kid,

Honestly, I'm Not Listening To Much Of What's Going On Today.

Only A Genius Can Play A Fool.

Call It Stubborn, Call It Ignorant, Call It What You Want, But I Don't Think I Have To Join A Particular Faith Or Culture Or Creed Or Religion Just To Fit In.

I Grew Up In New York City In The '80s, And It Was The Epicenter Of Hip-hop. There Was No Internet. Cable Television Wasn't As Broad. I Would Listen To The Radio, Hear Cars Pass By Playing A Song, Or Tape Songs Off Of The Radio. At That Time, There Was Such An Excitement Around Hip-hop Music.

Being A Part Of Independent-film World, The Independent-film Community, That's What You Do. You Support Each Other. If Someone's Doing A Movie And You Trust Them, You Roll The Dice. Sometimes It's Gonna Be Good, Sometimes It's Gonna Be Something That's Like, "oh I Don't Know What The Hell That Is." But I've Been More Fortunate Than Not To Have It Work Well.
