As A People We Do Not Need

'25th Hour,' Like A Lot Of My Films, Takes Place In New York City. I've Been Very Fortunate To Make Films In The City That I Live. I Mean, It's Great Going Home At Night Instead Of Being On Location.

I'm Always Open To New, Innovative Stuff And People Trying To Do Stuff In A Different Way. I Knew That The Theatrical Release Would Be Like Getting On The Launch Pad For Amazon Prime But I Was Okay With That Because I Think What Jeff Bezos And Ted Hope Are Doing Is Innovative.

I've Got "sometimers." Sometimes I Remember And Sometimes I Forget.

I Used The Principles Of Kickstarter To Make 'she's Gotta Have It.' We Filmed That In 1985 To 1986. The Final Cost Was $175,000. I Didn't Have That Money. It Was Friends, Grants, Donations. We Saved Our Bottles For The Nickel Deposit.

I've Been Blessed With The Opportunity To Express The Views Of Black People Who Otherwise Don't Have Access To Power And The Media. I Have To Take Advantage Of That While I'm Still Bankable.
