and what was amazing was the response when they said that when i talked about steven spielberg and i'm quoting now they said but that's different while. that's the part you're not first to say oh wow wow right i mean about that are read like me on the folk in reality. do you think that people are much more of a. i i think now there is some more openness i hope there's a greater openness because you know. a lot of white directors are allowed to direct black films and i hope that more and more black directors male and female and minorities will be allowed to direct all kinds of films that transcend the color of their skin we're not limited by. the color of our skin but as dr king said by the content of our character and our skills so that's my prayer for the future brilliant and you know i want to ask you that this prolific career of war many different hats you mentioned the director and actor and i was curious what do you look for in choosing projects today that may have was different than you know when you first started in the business some forty years ago. well i've always looked for

it was steven spielberg or out of know why captain hidden in the book but it was steven spielberg and personal it was while i was talking to steven spielberg. he did not what was. yet some medicine understand as prosecuted of some sort. i don't know why he got into the subject of how to judge -- how judges get picked. i sit in the southern district of new york in the magistrates court there's a wheel. multiple reels and they are octagonal and they are old would pick when you go in the grand jury presents, present the grand jury indictment, they turn the wheel and to take out a card and in the card, in the envelope is a card with the other judge. he was so taken by this he said there's an actual real? i suggest. almost a second he says, i could imagine a tv series or a movie about that fateful moment of what judge you get. i didn't know that ever happened but it goes to your point. the reason i start the chocolate that is it so consequential picky think it should be. it shouldn't matter if you have what judge. but if one has ever practice law knows that you can tell an awful lot. we us
