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).

I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.

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.

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?

Is there a way to discuss climate change without politics or religion getting in the way?

I also believe that you are what you have to defend, and if you're a black man that's always going to be the bar against which you are judged, whether you want to align yourself with those themes or not. You can think of yourself as a colourless person, but nobody else is gonna.

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.
