I've dealt with Hollywood about having my work made into a film or cartoon but nothing came of it. That's not to say I wouldn't like to see something happen.
The Recovery Act is working, but it's going to continue to work. It's not over. A lot's going to happen this summer. And even after the summer, there's more to come with the act.
My work has been much more Caribbean and eclectic. I am interested in people, and where they come from happens to have fallen within an area of Africa.
I always wanted to work with Spencer Tracy, which never happened, although I knew him well. And I never worked with Cary Grant.
Just as everybody has the vote including women, I think children should, because as a child is conscious of itself then it has to me an existence and has a stake in what happens.
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
There are real-world, devastating consequences for disabled women marginalised by the kinds of attitudes that deny them full agency over what happens to their bodies.
We didn't see what happened after mortars landed, only the puff of smoke. There were horrors that were completely left out of this war. So was this journalism? Or was this coverage?
What ultimately happened is that my country had a war. I think it would be extraordinary, as a writer, not to want to write about that.
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
They say things about these woods...that there are strange things living here.
One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.
Mothering you is the first thing of consequence I have ever done.
For every bad thing in life, there are more good things to tip the balance.
Being true to yourself it always the right thing to do.
I don't want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I'll act if it's the right thing.
After 'Where The Wild Things Are,' which was this big, long five-year project, I spent a year making small things.
When you give, give from the place of the heart because it is the right thing to do, not the easy thing to do.
The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.
Good writing is always about things that are important to you, things that are scary to you, things that eat you up.
My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.
