With a horror movie, you're making a metaphor. You're making a personalized nightmare for the protagonist.

Like comedy, horror has an ability to provoke thought and further the conversation on real social issues in a very powerful way.

Sometimes blessings come in strange packages.

I look at racism as one of the social demons. And, in its worst, it's violent and it's a systemic commitment to oppression.

The conversation about race is inevitable. It's one that people know that we have to have and continue to have.

A greater truth that I think we are faced with on a day-to-day basis as minorities is: We are the color of skin first and people second.

How we act with each other really reveals our most animal instincts.

I can fathom anything, man. I love biting off more than I can chew and figuring it out.

[ When I met Barack Obama] He says, I do a pretty good me myself - he said something like that. But he's - he is a close talker. He's a touchy guy.

I just think racism is within each and every one of us. It's everyone's responsibility to figure out how they deal with this kind of obsolete instinct.

I think that human beings are the most awful monster we have ever seen.

May our effort, confidence and concern for others be the altar from which we pray for personal abundance.

Nerds are far more interesting human in later life.

Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.

It's hard enough to be alive and human, without the additional burden of being me.

I am not a clone of Sarah Palin. I have my own thoughts.

We don't do anything illegal, we do 'run-ins'

Will, pure will, without the troubles and complexities of intellect - how happy! how free!

You are not going to be what you decide to be; you are going to be what you decide to be around.

What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.

My disability is that I cannot use my legs. My handicap is your negative perception of that disability, and thus of me.
