Chicago's a great city for filming. The city is so rich architecturally. I think that's part of what made 'Candyman' special.

Yes, I would like to be involved in something that would hopefully be a blockbuster, but I'm interested in seeing new filmmakers telling new stories and to able to help them do that.

I think people are getting more and more - unfortunately - inured to violence. People are like, less sensitive to things they should wake up about.

I'm just happy that as an African-American man, that 'Candyman' has once again been given the nod to enter people's consciousness.

I love film noir, so Billy Wilder is like my favorite director of all time.

Working on 'Candyman' in Chicago was probably the - I absolutely love this city, this city is so funky.

Everybody loves a horror story because it's a roller coaster ride -you wait for the slow ride to the top then speed down with all the bumps, twists and turns.

My love is the theater.

Although we're all in this to make a living, why not make something to make an impact? One day, I'll make a horror film. I think I know what the audience wants.

I was going to Hartford High School and when the theater bug hit, it hit hard and it saved my life. It gave me focus, direction and purpose.

With film sometimes you're thrown in there and you literally hit the ground running, taking your best shot and just leave it up to the editing.

I remember watching 'Abbott and Costello vs Frankenstein' continuously as a kid and being amazed that my horror legends were making a comedy.
