I don't think my films are going to get rid of racism or prejudice. I think the best thing my films can do is provoke discussion.
I don't think racism can be eliminated in my lifetime ... or my children's or grandchildren's. But I think it's something we have to strive for. I'm going to keep working toward that day coming.
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Racism in America absolutely exists - it is an issue. We need to fix it. We're a great country - probably the greatest country but we could be a hell of a lot greater.
