If you want to get your point across, you gotta cuss.

You have to captivate and entertain if you want your message to get across.

What we're showing may not be your reality, but it's ours.

Movies don't make people act a fool. People act a fool because they want to act a fool.

I don't want to be in somebody else's movie, and then they make all the money. I've gotten offers to do the movies, but I won't sell myself short and be in somebody else's movie, like 'Boyz N the Hood.' I don't think I woulda done that.

The kids from the streets don't want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don't care if it's ugly; they just want reality.
