Right.
Now, Spike, you're not, listen, you paved the way for so many people.
How do you still stay creative and never gave up?
Because I remember I was staying in, like, Scranton, Pennsylvania, when Malcolm X came out,
they didn't have it in the movie theaters.
It was like certain places want to play your movies.
The funds was running out.
type of stuff. How do you still stay
creative and never gave up
to always show us
in the right way?
Well,
that's one of the best questions.
That was deep.
That was different, bro. Thank you. Thank you.
I'm a
spiritual person, not necessarily
a religious person.
And I believe there's
greater things above
that move you in a certain
way this way that way and every time
I want a situation
where
I might be on a cliff
and one step
is like curtains
the spirit pulls me back
no lie
in many situations where if I
that one step would have been like
it would have been fucked out
and when you do
that then you say
you can't be doing that
so the square grabs your
your napped your head, it brings you back.
And another thing,
and another thing,
the period to put this together is that
when you have a job
that you love,
whatever it is,
when you have a job that you love
and you make a living,
that's a blessing.
Because the majority of people on this earth
were buried in their grave
and hated a job.
Imagine,
And we're blessed.
But imagine every day you're with your tired ass, the alarm goes off
and you keep hitting it, hitting it.
When I'm shooting a film, I don't need a alarm.
Because you love what you're doing.
You love what you're doing.
And the people had that have a blessing.
But the people who have to go to a job every day they hate,
of course, they're going to put food on the table.
for their children roof over the head and stuff like that.
But we're not getting joy.
You get joy from the family.
But the thing that's they make money on, you hate,
they're not joyful, I think.
So we're blessed.
And so with that understanding,
I know that I can't take that for granted.
And knowing that in this industry,
where historically we have not been you know like Denzel was talking early today like
he was naming famous white directors who who never put him in their films so it's just
just be aware and can't be going for the okey-doke you know the flim flam you know who's
ever made a living living playing three car money
not
I mean
Watch the black
You can't win
Yeah
It's rigged
It's rigged
It's rigged
It's rigged
They might let you
The same thing
They go to Vegas
They may
You win one time
But
And they went
A lot of money
Right
Because they go out of business
Right
