Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make. You know, so a celebrity could find themselves in a position where people could have meetings about their life without them involved. And when I say 'their life' I mean not their professional life either. They could talk about their personal life.

I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear - I'm not mad at anybody - not anymore.

Every black American is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak 'job interview.'

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.

I don't think that 'No Man's Land' is a comedy. I think that it's a serious film with a good sense of humour.

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.

Cloud 9' is an action/romantic comedy that focuses on the competitive world of snowboarding. We have glamorised it to so that all the players are on the cover of magazines, have all the interviews, and be on the television: so it is very high stakes.

There's some sort of unspoken license... when outlandish things come out of an inanimate object, somehow it equals humor.
