It's great to be in a film that's able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something.

I've been doing this since I was 10 years old, inhabiting different people and playing different roles.

Yeah! I went to the set of Monuments Men.

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.

People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.

We're trying to do what Miles Davis would have wanted us to do, which is approach it as artists with his life as the canvas.

I used to record but just in my own studio or in my friend's back when I toyed with the idea of being a rapper.
