I think that whenever there's a good script we try to make that happen, but it's all based off of a good story, a good script, but I don't believe you should do it just because it's African-American.
I have no problems with remakes, and I think it's interesting. I mean, coming from the theater, we've been remaking 'Hamlet' for a hundred years, so it's no problem to me at all. A good story can be told in many different ways in different places; I just think it's interesting.
It is in your DNA to love a good story. You know, neat tales with heroes and villains and conflicts to resolve. A good story pushes our buttons, is exciting and memorable.
My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.
When Hollywood sees a good story about a man who sells confidence, they see themselves and they like it.
Sometimes the facts can get in the way of the telling of a good story. But they don't get in the way of the truth.
These days, you don't need a song or glamour to make your film work. It is all about a good story.
Just wearing expensive and glamorous clothes do not merit for me to do a film. There has to be a good story and a good role.
I noticed that in 'The Revenant,' as much as it is a good story of revenge and endurance, there are times that you get to escape with a story like that.
People still love a good story, and I don't think that will change.
