I want to see somebody go to jail over the financial crisis and not just black, brown and poor whites over humbles and minor drug beefs.

One truth that I know for sure, for me anyway, is that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know.

I was brought into the curiosity of it because with Sony Pictures Classics, which bought the movie, they look into what the feedback is and base that off of how they release it, and you end up hearing the feedback and getting that early talk. So the reviews early on that were "bad reviews," they were kind of reviewing another movie.

So often when Black men have to play roles on TV, we're either the noble savage or we're completely a savage, and there's no nuance.

It is the least represented among us who will be the most affected first. We have a moral responsibility to protect them.

I don't know what would be antithetical to do on the other side, maybe a Tyler Perry movie or something. No, there are very few comedies that live in between that. Or you're doing some kid thing like a Jim Carrey movie with animated something that's like that. Yeah, I've wanted to do them. I like doing them. I did Talk to Me. That was pretty much a comedy.

I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all).
