TWA believes that the remains of Flight 800 should be treated like the remains of any other airplane crash and disposed of respectfully once the investigation is concluded.
You have an athletic director who wants to bring us up-to-date,
There have been so few decent films involving Negroes that right away everybody expects every film to do everything. But when you make a flick, there are maybe two things you're trying to put into that flick. You can put the other things in another time.
We just have to take one shot at a time. We have to stay in the present and forget about what has happened and do the best we can every shot.
There's a trend toward anti-heroes now, and I think it goes back to guys like Bogart and Cagney. They seemed to have no compassion, and they were always alone.

It is up to God to take revenge. Only God can judge. I don't have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody. Doing that is a weakness, anyway.
Michael Jordan brings millions of dollars when he shows up in an arena. Since money is how we judge people, he's very valuable. But while that's happening, Rome is burning within the black community.
