Ghetto Quotes

American commercial cinema has long been dominated by men, but I don’t think there has ever been another time when women have been as underrepresented on screen as they are now. The biggest problem isn’t genuinely independent cinema, where lower budgets mean more opportunities for women in front of and behind the camera. The problem is the six major studios that dominate the box office, the entertainment chatter and the popular imagination. Their refusal to hire more female directors is immoral, maybe illegal, and has helped create and sustain a representational ghetto for women Picture Quote #1

I don’t like the way people cherish the ghetto, as if it’s some royal palace, or kingdom. I also don’t like the way people treat each other in the ghetto. It is really hard to find love, trust, and respect. You don’t find too many people that want to do better for themselves in the ghetto because so many people seem to be satisfied with where they’re at Picture Quote #1

This is my genre... the happiness, tragedies, and the sorrows of mankind as realized in the teeming black ghetto Picture Quote #1

The ghetto is not where you live. The ghetto is inside your mind. And anyone who tells you that you can’t get out of the ghettos of your own mind has no idea what they’re talking about Picture Quote #1

I love rap because it talks about pain that comes authentically from the ghetto. It moves me Picture Quote #1

I would love to see no more ghettos but the things is, there’s no diplomacy in the ghetto. They want to tell you something, they tell you straight! Picture Quote #1

There’s no such thing as losing touch. You can take me out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of me Picture Quote #1

Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday’s and today’s school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did Picture Quote #1

One day when I was able to get up, I decided to look at myself in the mirror on the opposite wall. I had not seen myself since the ghetto. From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me Picture Quote #1

I think there’s an element where people get very comfortable in their ghetto. Which is fair enough Picture Quote #1

I’m enjoying the money, the big house, the cars; what ghetto kid wouldn’t? Picture Quote #1

To me, I’m the epitome of what a ghetto child is: I was raised by a single parent; I stayed in apartments my whole life; I don’t think I’ve ever cut the grass Picture Quote #1

Roman’s wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by Charles Manson the year before, but Roman had been through so much leaving the Warsaw ghetto that he was very strong and private Picture Quote #1
