I want to pursue a career in film.

Our trials and our times of pain get the most recognition, but 'Straight Outta Compton' speaks to triumph. When it's doubtful, when nobody is on your side, when your back is against the wall, you triumph and make it through. Showing growth through movies promotes growth.

Ice Cube's the coolest dad. A lot of parents - a lot of kids do not think their parents are cool. Oh, no. My dad's cool... You know, I was born in 1991. That's when 'Boyz n the Hood' came out. So I've always see him on TV. I don't see everybody else's dad, you know. So I've always had a sense of, you know, he's cool. He's in the light.

My parents wouldn't have sent me out into the world with wool over my eyes. You have to be aware, or you'll be swallowed.

Imagination is the only key to the future. Without it none exists - with it all things are possible.

I want to make my kind of films but make them work commercially, too. When my presentation meets the director's imagination, the result will be great.

All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination.

Imagination in the child is powerful. Reading and laughter and love are essential in our lives.
