We started looking for someone in L.A., and what we found was that we were encountering the usual suspects. They're Hollywood kids who have been in the business for a few years. We were looking for someone who was a little raw and a little edgier. And we got a tape from New York with this kid on it. The thing that sold us was his face. He has an incredibly expressive face, and it's older than his years. When you sit and you look at him, it already feels like he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He looks like his eyes are a little sad, but he's really bright. At this particular point, there's no Hollywood in him.

What Hollywood has done is push the responsibility for funding movies onto the creative people who make them.

The great exception to that, of course, is Johnny Depp, who is absolutely the ultimate character actor.

I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.

I don't feel so strongly against remakes, but if I don't like it, I guess I just don't do it. It is what it is. Hollywood is driven by the financial system, so if they think that it has a brand and people are going to go see it because it's a recognizable property, they're going to remake it.

She had followed me out to Hollywood from St. Paul. I was living in a boarding house, and she had a small apartment across the street. She supported me pretty much for about a year while I tried to get work. Her parents had said that we could marry once I had a job and good prospects, and the seven-year contract qualified.

Singleton had gotten to a point in Hollywood where he was struggling to get things green-lit.
