Tim Robbins as Nic Vos in  Catch a Fire
 

 

Tim Robbins (October 5, 2006)

 

"One of the things I learned early on was how to say no. Thank God I did. It’s hard to say no to millions of dollars…I had to do it the other day…I looked at being away from home for three months in a crucial year for both of my boys and I thought of hearing about Jack’s basketball games in Africa and I said, 'I can’t do it.' My youngest is 14. So in about four years, I’ll become a total prostitute."

Derek Luke as Patrick Chamusso in  Catch a Fire
 

  Derek Luke (October 5, 2006)

"[Tim Robbins] is funny. He took me to my first Reggae, hip hop South African club and he was the only White dude dancing. I said, “Isn’t this the day when a brother is sitting down watching the White man dance?” He’s 6’5” so he can’t hide and you have people [at the club] saying, 'Ho-o-o!! Shawshank!! Shawshank!!'"

Spike Lee (August 12, 2006)

 

"For me the hardest aspect was the interview with Kim Polk. That’s much harder to deal with than [showing] dead bodies. When I interviewed her, she was holding a picture of her 5 year old daughter Serena….

                               

The Polk family was gracious and allowed us to bring our cameras to the funeral. The most poignant shot, in my opinion, in the entire four hours, is that final shot of Episode 3 where Kim just completely breaks down and her little boy runs in the frame completely unaware that his sister is dead. You see him run after Kim and we fade to black.

 

That happened! We were just there. We didn’t direct the kid. It’s just one of those magical moments that we were able to capture."

(On How Levees Footage Affects Him, When the Levees Broke Press Junket)
