I have no rules. For me, it's a full, full experience to make a movie. It takes a lot of time, and I want there to be a lot of stuff in it.

That element of surprise ... genre-busting is very much at the heart of both the movie and the series.

We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are.

The movies have been so rank the last couple of years that when I see people lining up to buy tickets I sometimes think that the movies aren't drawing an audience - they're inheriting an audience.

Hip-hop is substance. It's social. It's science - that's what it started off as. We have fun, and we still having fun; ain't nothing wrong with fun, but we need that social, we need that substance, we need that science, and we need that spiritual.

It may not have been the best movie ever, but it was certainly the most fun.

And the more I submerge myself in it, the more fun I seem to have.
