The best thing that I learned from the best directors that I worked with is that the best answer wins. They are ego-less when it comes to doing the most important thing.

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.

But most scripts are terrible. Most projects are bad, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm not really attracted to those.

I think it’s intoxicating when somebody is so unapologetically who they are.

I want to be a part of great things.

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.

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.
