I was a paperboy first, then I worked at a movie theater. But I was a caddie at a golf club, which I didn't like. The people were so bougie and racist at times.

I find it soothing, the thought of a movie theater.

I love to be scared in the safety of a movie theater. It is like a thrill ride; like a roller-coaster ride.

I knew what it was to be uncomfortable in a movie theater watching unfolding on the screen images of myself - not me, but black people - that were uncomfortable.

We have a lot of relationships to the gatekeepers who can rally their people to go to the movie theater. It's a trusting relationship.

For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie.
