My music is going to be true. I'm not out to sell records. I'm experiencing something, and it's what I feel.
I've always loved hip-hop, since I was a kid, that's the music that I loved. I think everyone of our generation kind of fantasized about hip-hop in some ways.
The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies.
