I've never concerned myself with what anyone thought about my activity, be they people within my profession or people outside of it, and I definitely wouldn't concern myself with anything coming from a racist bigot like a Klan member.
There is never a specific theme or anything I have interest in. Really, I make decisions based on decisions that are made by other people and whatever is presented to me, and I do it on a first come, first serve basis, and go from there.
I was afraid to let other make any decisions, because I had no confidence they would be concerned for me.
The way that we make dumb decisions and discriminatory decisions is by employing stereotypes about groups of people. We don't see people as fully human when other people speak for them.
I surround myself with people who make positive decisions ... My friends and I look out for each other.
I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.
Soundgarden was incredibly democratic, and I was really proud of that. I felt like we got along better than most bands we toured with and most people we knew.

I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people's standards.

If the courts are making the decisions, it matters who the judge is and, of course, people are concerned with what is the bottom line.
Any community seriously concerned with its own freedom has to be concerned about other people's freedom as well. The victory of oppressed people anywhere in the world is a victory for Black people. Each time one of imperialism's tentacles is cut off we are closer to liberation.
I never thought in terms of a "breakthrough" film. I wasn't looking for fame or a career path into Hollywood. I was doing it for myself. I just wanted to make a film that I really loved. If other people liked it, great. But you can never guess what other people are going to like.
I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.
The bottom line for most people who are normal is their need for other people. Even the greedy ones have this need - as long as they're not sociopathic.

If I have an unusual gift, it's not that I draw particularly better than other people - I've never fooled myself about that.

Happily an essential part of myself - my dreaming life - still lives in the light of childhood.
I've learned a lot about the process. I had no idea how the balls got from the officials locker room down on the field and so forth and so on and all of that.
