Zitat des Tages von Euzhan Palcy:
There are many projects I couldn't get off the ground because they didn't have white heroes. It's a problem that everyone who's been working in Hollywood has been facing.
When I started out, there were three things that made film people look at me with condescension, I was young, I was black, and I was female. I have won a certain respect, but I think the film community still sees directing as a male job.
I've been to Cuba many times.
I wanted to make a black story about South Africa. Unfortunately, no producer in the United States would put one penny into a black story.
Francois Truffaut was my godfather on 'Sugar Cane Alley.' He believed in me and in that story, and told everyone that it should be made.
'Sugar Cane Alley' had a lot of international success, big success everywhere.
In the days when I wasn't being taken seriously, I wore long skirts - very conservative. But now, I dress any way I want to.
I believe that the American audience is not so dumb that they wouldn't be interested in a black story.
As a child, I always wanted to be the last one to take a bath because I knew I could close the door and spend hours just having my bath and singing.
