Charles Burnett Quotes
Coming from the South and growing up in L.A. where it was so segregated - worse than the South in many ways - all the people in my neighborhood were from the South.

I was always fascinated by these Southern stories, people would share these mystified experiences of the South. I wanted to talk about folklore.
