I'm an audience member too, man. I hate shitty sequels.

Laurence [Fishburn] helped redo some of the dialogue [in John Wick 2], he and Keanu [Reeves] workshopped it. And he couldn't have been more respectful couldn't have been more brilliant on set. I said, "look, I'm gonna have to work you a little bit here cause I only get you for three days." He never left set, was always engaging, always working on his lines, it was awesome.

When I first met Laurence I was Keanu's [Reeves] stunt double on the first Matrix. So, a little evolution there with career status. But then cut to the thirteen/fourteen years later where now I'm asking Laurence Fishburne to trust my directorial capacity [in John Wick 2].

I think we're all kind of alike when you do your first film. You have great hopes, but you don't hope too much.

Laurence [Fishburne] is a great example of how to communicate to the audience as you're acting with another actor.

In fact rules are more important in our underworld than they are to the regular citizen who works within them.
