 White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!

 Everyone says look at what 'those people' did to my city. And race is always an element. In 1950, Detroit had a population of 1.8 million; 80 percent were white, 20 percent black. Today the population is 900,000 and those percentages have more than reversed.

 It's just not part of who I am to hate black people or Mexican people. so instead of trying to develop that, what I did -- and this will sound bizarre -- was use my hatred for racists or people who kill gay men just because they're gay.

 When he came here and turned the program around, I'm talking about the whole city has galvanized behind him. The thing I like about it is he really brought the city together, the black and the white. You look up to the stands and you'd see all races up there. ... He brought the city together a lot. That's why a lot of people around here hate to see him go, because that electricity seems like it's died down.

 There hasn't been anything about this project that isn't a considerable challenge. But when we're through, we'll have something that's not only a treasure for the entire state, the Midwest and the nation, but we will also have something that's a treasure in terms of where people want to come.

 I love talking about the Forum. It is a treasure for the area. Time and time again, I hear from people and from the agents I talk to that there's not another program like it in the country.

 Some people seem to think, from watching CNN reports from the French Quarter, that everything's back to normal. Others seem to think the city is completely closed and nonfunctional. ... It does seem to be the extremes as opposed to what really is happening.
