Quotes

• “In life, there are times to be quiet, and there are times to shut the fuck up. This is one of those times.”
• “I may have been born yesterday, but I stayed up all night.”
• “Everybody's a teacher. People can teach you two things, what to do and what not to do.”
• “You always avoid direct eye contact, you know that? Are you afraid of something? Are you afraid that I might see the real you? Huh? Answer me. Come on, answer me.”
• “I know that it's painful at times, but we're not making this up. The depths of degradation in cartoons, movies, and television shows, the misrepresentation of a people - it's an American legacy. Not just in television or movies, but in all media.”
• “My film is supposed to reflect that; it is an indictment of the people who write and accept those shows, because we know that they exist today. It also has to do with the $1 million question: What is black? It is a never-ending quest for who we are, and some people are still in search of that.”
