I love mentoring young filmmakers and girl filmmakers.

My grandparents lived in Hollywood, and I was surrounded by the romanticism of movies ever since I was a child.

My connection with Basquiat was really in Los Angeles, which really was a whole different world to what he was experiencing in New York.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

I've worked throughout California as a poet: in colleges, universities, worker camps, migrant education offices, continuation high schools, juvenile halls, prisons, and gifted classrooms.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
