" Appropriation is a fact of life; no point in complaining about it. But if that’s the way the game’s being played, let’s do it on both sides. I don’t want some white guy making ‘A Rage in Harlem III’ if I can’t do ‘The Godfather V’ or ‘E.T. III.’ " - Bill Duke

" I’m hoping to see some minorities in executive offices in positions of power, people who see the merit of projects with minority themes. That may or may not happen. " - Bill Duke
