I'm A Big Child At

My Grandfather Was The First Feminist In My Life. He Taught Me If A Woman Can Do Something, A Man Will Respect Her.

If You're Stupid And You're Arrogant, You're Going To Get Hurt.

Everyone Else Can Do Violence. You Know, Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, They Can All Do Shoot-'em-ups. Arnold Schwarzenegger Can Kill 10 People In One Minute, And They Don't Call It "white Exploitation." They Win Awards And Get Into All The Magazines. But If Black People Do It, Suddenly It's Different Than If A White Person Does It. People Respond Differently Because People Come From Different Places.

I'm In Film School, So I Really Have To Sock Away My Money For School, Tuition, And So On, And I Really Don't Have Time.

Coming From The '50s, Things Were Very Violent. We Were Still Being Lynched. If I Drove Down Through The South With My Mother, I Might Not Make It Through One State Without Being Bullied Or Harassed. I Feel Like Unless You've Been Black For A Week, You Don't Know.
