Jordan Peele
The conversation about race is inevitable. It's one that people know that we have to have and continue to have.
Jordan Peele
A greater truth that I think we are faced with on a day-to-day basis as minorities is: We are the color of skin first and people second.
Jordan Peele

Jordan Peele
[ When I met Barack Obama] He says, I do a pretty good me myself - he said something like that. But he's - he is a close talker. He's a touchy guy.
Jordan Peele
If it's comedy, you taken an absurd comedic notion and you apply it to reality. If it's horror, if it's a thriller, you do the same thing.
Jordan Peele
How we act with each other really reveals our most animal instincts.
Jordan Peele
The scariest monster in the world is human beings and what we are capable of, especially when we get together.
