Tupac shakur is something that, of course i want to make the tupac movie, i love tupac, but when that movie was announced, we didn't even have a script yet. it was just being written. people announce things too soon. if you go to any filmmaker - clint eastwood, oliver stone, martin scorsese, ben affleck, michael mann - you go in their offices and there are scripts everywhere and there's about four or five of them you really want to make.

More From Antoine Fuqua

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
Thinking Stones Way
We don't really know who killed martin luther king. we don't really know who killed bobby kennedy. we don't really know who killed john kennedy. we don't really know who killed tupac shakur.

When star wars became a hit and i had a chance to make the other movies, i had to figure out a way to bring ben back, but a lot of the issues he had to deal with were carried by yoda. in a sense, i combined yoda with the spirit of ben. i wanted ben to have some kind of influence, but i didn't want it to be a direct influence where he could help luke. so ben has managed to keep his identity after he became one with the force. one of the things he was doing on tatooine besides watching over luke was learning how to keep his identity after he became part of the force.

With the host, i think the actors could be really big names. that would be cool. id love to see robert redford put on a beard and be jeb; he would be amazing... matt damon has some very jared-esque qualities, and then casey affleck as ian and ben affleck as kyle. imagine the interplay.
Thinking Names Quality
I learned a lot from clint [eastwood], who's an extremely economic director. i learned a lot from michael winterbottom, who really gave a lot of trust in the actors and allowed them to live in the space instead of trying to manipulate and make it too set and too staged. working with [robert] de niro taught me a lot of being an actors' director and what that is. i've learned a lot from pretty much everybody. hopefully i've picked up something from everybody i've worked with.
Space Trying Directors
A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but i don't trust reading the scripts that much. i try to get some friends together and read a script aloud. sometimes i read scripts and record them and play them back to see if there's a movie. it's very evocative; it's like a first cut because you hear 'she walked to the door,' and you visualize all these things. 'she opens the door' . . . because you read the stage directions, too.

Try reading the book of mormon because you want to, not because you have to. discover for yourself that it is true.
Book Reading Trying
I came from a house full of books, so i took reading for granted. i was an outdoorsy little kid, too, so i got the best of both worlds by taking books up trees and reading there.

True taste is forever growing, learning, reading, worshipping, laying its hand upon its mouth because it is astonished, casting its shoes from off its feet because it finds all ground holy.

The reason literacy is important is that literature is the operating instructions. the best manual we have. the most useful guide to the country we're visiting, life.
