Kevin Young Quotes
For 'The Grey Album,' I'd been thinking about the good side of lying - lying as a kind of improvisatory act in black culture.

So 'Bunk' became a natural extension of 'The Grey Album.'

I love 'Love Actually.' 'Love Actually,' there's, like, nine stories in that movie. Three of them are good. But watching that movie, I get emotional, I get choked up, my wife makes fun of me. I don't know if as you get older you get sappier and sentimental.
