Be collaborative. I've had some of my best experiences with directors who were able to sit down and have a conversation and ask me what I thought.

I'm hoping to develop a lot of graphic novels and television shows and films and animation. I've got my hands in a lot of different things!

Being compared to that man [Michael Jordan], who has accomplished so much in his lifetime and is known as one of the greatest ever, is an amazing compliment, but I still want to be looked at as an individual and have my own lane and my own career and looked at as "That's Mike." "That' s Michael B."

For AXE to take a chance on me and to help me, you know, collaborating with them was just a really, really big deal for me. It shows that they bought into me and vice versa so it's a good relationship.

If somebody comes up and they're African American as Mike is, and they're extremely talented as Mike is, they say, "Oh, yeah, he's the next ..." I think that it points to disparity.

For me, with me, making a film is always about humanity.

The douchiest thing a guy could do on a date is to make a girl pay. If you invite her out and then make her pay.
