If anyone ever said biopic I would say, "It's not a biopic." We're fighting uphill against the weight of history. I was like, why don't we just call it historical fiction?

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.

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.

Every time I've learned something, I've realized there are a hundred more things I don't know about the thing I just learned.

There are things that are happening way earlier than that when it comes to someone deciding whether they're going to spend x amount of millions of dollars on a movie. I want $100 million success. The moviegoer is the person I'm more interested in than the Academy.

I think having good family and friends really helps to ground you.

Comedies are very hard to do. They are difficult. Unless there's the Judd Apatow school, where they're like okay, we know that, we're going to do those. Or unless it's something that's far to the other side.
