I had a boom box, but I didn't go too far with it because I had a really, really big one. It was like the size of a suitcase, and I was just a little kid.

Right now I'm taking a break from hip-hop documentaries. But I would do it if things lined up.

A Tribe Called Quest music was so inclusive, so conscious, it brought such a community together.

Only a genius can play a fool.

I don't think the subject of a documentary film should be producers on it.

When I was a kid, my first favorite song was probably Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side."

My freestyling ability is nonexistent. I can't even write a verse if I tried to sit anywhere and write one. Being a good rapper is hard to do. I'm a good Rapaport, but that's about it.

Being a good rapper is hard to do. I'm a good Rapaport, but that's about it.

Call it stubborn, call it ignorant, call it what you want, but I don't think I have to join a particular faith or culture or creed or religion just to fit in.

Positive doesn't mean unflawed: It means human and vulnerable. If you make a film and you're portraying the subject with respect, you're gonna do it in an honest way.

When you're playing this bad of a character, it's obviously not reality for someone who's not living that life.

He made me feel less lonely tonight by letting me into his world, and I found that I really liked being there. I wasn't ready to go back to my own.

To build confident and kind kids, we must celebrate their uniqueness.

I could feel the real interaction between directing and acting, when an actor or an actress really suggests very interesting things.

There is no excuse for deceiving children. And when, as must happen in conventional families, they find that their parents have lied, they lose confidence in them and feel justified in lying to them.

Probably my mother's life was prolonged beyond that of a long-lived family by her coming to Australia in middle life; and if I ever had any tendency to consumption, the climate must have helped me.

I just loved the feeling of flying. I could jump six feet bareback and it was the closest thing to being Pegasus and flying next to God. It's the most liberating freedom-making feeling in the world.

Britain cannot compete with China or Taiwan on price; we compete on skills, on arts and culture.

If you want to have a spiritual life you must unify your life. A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all.

There's lots of people - this town wouldn't hold them; Who don't know much excepting what's told them.
