Blaxploitation films were black films targeting black people. They were films made to appeal to a culture in a way that was supposed to be unfiltered.

The easy answer is to say that it's a part for black people to see black heroes, but to me it's important to young Mexican kids to see a black hero.

I try to make classics. I don't try to make things that aren't good. It's always a pleasure to see that people care about the kind of music I'm making.

When people score films, the job is to be visual. When people make music, it's about evoking feeling. It's great when you get both feelings and being out of their head.
