I Look For Stuff That

I Went To A Public High School And Most Of The Comedy Was Coming From The Black Kids And The Asian Kids And The Hispanic Kids. And, The Coolest Kids To Me Where Always The Black Kids. They Were Always Fashion Forward And They Always Dressed The Coolest. They Were Always The Best Dancers, And Just The Coolest People.

I've Watched 'being There' Over 50 Times, And Every Time I Watch It, I Love Every Frame. I Just Wish I Had Directed It Myself.

I've Worked With A Hundred Of The Biggest Artists In The World, From Madonna To Mariah Carey, And He [michael Jackson] Is Just Beyond. He's At A Whole Other Level, Spiritually. He's Got The God Spot. Everyone Has It, Everyone Has That God Spot, But It's Just The Way He's In Tune With It. He Has It. It's Right There, And When He Starts To Sing, God Has Just Opened It Up For Him. That's Why He's Not Comfortable Around People And Things, Because He's Just Such A Unique - He Feels Blessed Just To Be Himself. "i Can't Believe I'm Michael Jackson."

When Critics Or People Judge, I Think It's Harder To Make A Commercial, Pop Movie Than It Is To Make A Pretentious Art Film. It's Harder To Reach Millions Of People And Satisfy Them And Make Them Happy. These Films Kind Of Get Ghettoized, This Genre Because There Are So Many Big, Big Movies That Are Such Big Hits, But Aren't Any Good. The Audiences, They're Not Judging The Style Of The Director, Or The Execution Of The Film. They're Just Looking To Be Entertained. They Want To Escape From Their Reality, And That's Why We Make Movies, To Get People To Escape From The Realities.

There's No Greater Feeling Than People Coming Up To Me And Going, "man, My Father Was Dying, And We Went To See Rush Hour, And It Was The Greatest Night We Had In Years Together. We Sat In That Theater And We Laughed For Two Hours Without Stopping. That Was Just A Great Memory That I Had Before My Father Died."
