4. Trying to make a feature film yourself with no money is the best film school you can do.
5. Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.

And I think as the generations go on and everything, you know, my hope is it can be a rite of passage for black fathers and their sons. Like, when are they old enough to watch ‘Django Unchained’?
16. My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid.

18. To be a novelist, all I need is a pen and a piece of paper.
19. My movies are painfully personal, but I’m never trying to let you know how personal they are. It’s my job to make it be personal, and also to disguise that so only I or the people who know me know how personal it is. ‘Kill Bill’ is a very personal movie.
20. L.A. is so big that if you don’t actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.
