#QueerQuote: “Movies Saved My Life.” – John Singleton, 1968-2019, Director

Here is the entire quote:


“I wanted to be taken seriously as a filmmaker, and my first film was taken so seriously, so I kept feeling like each film had to be more serious than the last one. Finally, I said, you know what, I’m in this business because movies saved me from delinquency, movies saved my life. I just want to make movies. It doesn’t matter if they’re serious or not. ”

For a thoughtful remembrance, read World of Wonder writer Trey Speegle‘s tribute here.”
