children men thinking
It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
impact horrible-person frogs
There was a time when fame meant that you were either someone who is really gifted in your field or you were making an impact or you are famous because you were a really horrible person, you know? But now, you can become famous by eating a frog. It's just not the same thing.
play west prophet
Michael Ralph brilliantly plays the street prophet, a West Indian who foreshadows the Harlem riot.
vision way scene
That's the only way I can control my movie. If you shoot everything, then everything is liable to end up in the movie. If you have a vision, you don't have to cover every scene.
real world furniture
I use something that is a real staple in the directing world. It's called a dance floor. You lay it down so that it's so smooth you can roll around, and you can put furniture on top of it. It's seamless and you don't see it.
fleeting honey fame
Fame is fleeting, honey. Fame is fleeting and it changes.
thinking actors tables
I think a good director casts a film so that the actors bring a lot to the table.
clothes body today
The clothes back in those days were made so much better than clothes are today. They actually took time to make clothes to fit a woman's body. Today they make clothes that fit sizes, so it stretches to fit this and that.
jobs time-management directors
Time management is a big part of the director's job.
done like-you feels
If you just change one person's life, you feel like you've done something. But if you can change a whole lot of them and get them looking at themselves differently, it's amazing.
moving-forward always-moving keep-moving
I'm always moving forward.
design looks rehearsal
I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.
beautiful block independent
Be true. Be beautiful. Be free. In the midst of segregation and racism Mamma raised us to be independent and free. We saw ourselves as citizens of the world, not of a block.
tired mean passion
I'm driven by passion. I mean, I am tired right now. I work to a point of abandon. I am fueled by my understanding of the need for self-expression that exists for young people.
