Cinema Quote by Laurence Fishburne
“Ive taken a lot from them as a filmmaker, and Ive learned things from every single filmmaker Ive ever worked with, and will hopefully apply them as I make films in the future. As an actor, Coppola trained me. That was my training ground. And because Ive worked with first-timers and people in the early stages of their development like Spike, and Singleton, and like the Wachowskis, I try to bring to them the wealth of my experience. Its a great kind of way to exchange.”
