Doing adaptations is hard... because once you say, 'I'm going to take everything that millions of other readers have thought of and I'm going to make the definitive version of that,' ... I think it's a really hard thing to do.
- John Ridley
The first `Barbershop' kicked the door open and said, `Look, we're going to talk about whatever we want to talk about.' I think the responsible thing we have to do, even though it's a comedy, even though we have a lot of fun, and even though in someway we are a little more absurdist than the movies, is to recognize that just to bring up a topic for the sake of bringing it up is not enough.
- John Ridley
