“I want more girls to be able to see themselves behind the camera creat...” — Ava DuVernay Quote

I want more girls to be able to see themselves behind the camera creating images we all enjoy, and I want to call attention to the fact that women directors are here all over the world.

Why do we always have to see black people in hindsight? Why are the Hollywood movies always historical? What about the contemporary image of black people?

You know, often films that are deemed positive, nobody wants to see them.

I like silence. Aesthetically, I feel strangled by the fast cutting and a wall of sound. And I think showing black people thinking onscreen is radical.

Filmmakers need to realize that their job isn't done when they lock picture. We must see our films through.

Black women do not have as many positive images in the media as we should.

I don't know what a world would be like if you do away with sexy images.

Salman is a very relaxed and chilled out guy with no pretentions. What you see is what you get. That's great in an industry which survives on creating images and personas.

I see that all of us who live are nothing but images or insubstantial shadow.

I love acting. I've been doing it since I was 16, and it's in my nature. It's the thing I do best. But as much as I love acting, I love cinema more. I always had a thing about creating images.
