I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping, doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way.
Well, the wonderful thing about making movies, oddly enough, is that they're sort of highly motivated graduate studies in one or another field.
I'm not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story.
I've always worked with a team of actors and filmmakers ever since I was a kid in Michigan making Super-8 movies.

One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.
I have a few friends that have inspired me since I was a young kid. When I watch old films or modern movies - particularly 'Gladiator,' 'New Jack City' and 'The Skin I Live In' - I'll also get ideas.
I want a lot of people to see my movies. More black people. More white people. I want to make that connection.
I play tough guys in movies and behaved like one in front of the press because I thought that was what a man did.

We work very cost effective and I sell my movies in 100 territories on my own.
My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.
