A lot of us feel that we are against the war; we are against profiling and are against what is happening. We are tired of war in every manifestation. American people do not all believe in what the government has been doing.

We have to realize only in communication, in real knowledge, in real reaching out, can there be an understanding that there's humanity everywhere, and that's what I'm trying to do.

The dignity of everyday life - the beauty of it, the attitude of it - is what I live around. And it is never on screen, and it is certainly never associated with Africa. If we see Africa at all, it is always used as a backdrop: a big blob of a continent rather than a specific street or a country or a place.

With Vietnam, the Iraq War, so many American films about war are almost always from the American point of view. You almost never have a Middle Eastern character by name with a story.

I dream of living off the land completely - in vain, because the monkeys eat everything.

We all know the power of film; we all know there's almost nothing more powerful than to see people on film that look and talk like you, like we do.

The film-school mantra is that if you don't tell your own stories, nobody will.

Truth is more peculiar than fiction. Life is really a startling place.

We have not learned the lessons of 9/11. This wrongful suspicion, racial hatred, and profiling is what I keep seeing.

Never take no for answer, and try to make films that turn you on.
