"I was neither black enough for the black kids or Dominican enough for the Dominican kids. I didn't have a safe category."

I have two different categories of favorite films. One is the emotional favorites, which means these are generally films that I saw when I was a kid; anything you see in your formative years is more powerful, because it really stays with you forever. The second category is films that I saw while I was learning the craft of motion pictures.
