We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.
If you give anybody the chance, they can always make a decent human being out of themselves. It's the people that don't have a chance, that we look down at like they're monsters or they're animals or that they want something different than the rest of us.
You pay to have a good time, you don't always want to pay to be schooled or sad or reminded how bad you got it. To me a movie theater ain't always the place for that.
I want to do more drama. Comedy is the path of least resistance for my company. People know we can do them. People know they get a good response. People want to make them. Who am I to push up against that?
I always want to read the script before I totally commit.
I always say the movie came out good if they want another one. That always tells me that people really liked the movie.
Don't want to hear my favorite rapper doin' a love song. If I want to hear something soft, I'll throw on Luther Vandross.
Sometimes, when you want to laugh, reality steps in.
You want the industry to finally admit that you're good. But I'm still good without their admission.
I think when somebody goes to the movies and they spend their money and they take the girl out, the family, they want to have a good time. You don't always want to be hit over the head with history or how bad society is.
I don't listen to nothing while I'm in the studio, because I don't want to be influenced by anybody else.
