I have a strange fascination with the midwest. i'm waiting to find out that my parents are actually from the midwest. i grew up in beverly hills, up the street, and i just feel comfortable there. i've shot in minneapolis, in detroit, in st. louis, in omaha - they would say they're the plains, not the midwest - and i love it.

Drugs are so easy to get in the ghetto. they might not be easy to get in nice areas like beverly hills, but in long beach and compton and south central they're easy to get. they don't drop those drugs off in beverly hills. they drop them off in the ghetto. then they tell us it's wrong to sell them. well, we didn't bring them here. we just sell them. i was selling, like i sold newspapers.

If you are a kid in beverly hills, (i am not putting down people who live in beverly hills) if that kid knows private school and a credit card... you can't say the kid is taking life for granted. he is taking the life that was given to him.

If i'm ever working on a set and anyone talks about a master shot, i say there is no master shot. before i even went to film school, i learned about movies by being in a british feature film, where everything was shot master shot, mid-shot, close-up. but i reject the idea of a master shot. you don't shoot everything mechanically; you find imaginative ways that serve the action.

So the midwest nourishes us [...] and presents us with the spectacle of a land and a people completed and certain. and so we run to our bedrooms and read in a fever, and love the big hardwood trees outside the windows, and the terrible midwest summers, and the terrible midwest winters [...]. and so we leave it sorrowfully, having grown strong and restless by opposing with all our will and mind and muscle its simple, loving, single will for us: that we stay, that we stay and find a place among its familiar possibilities. mother knew we would go; she encouraged us.

A significant number of people believe tribal people still live and dress as they did 300 years ago. during my tenure as principal chief of the cherokee nation, national news agencies requesting interviews sometimes asked if they could film a tribal dance or if i would wear traditional tribal clothing for the interview. i doubt they asked the president of the united states to dress like a pilgrim for an interview.
