Jordan Peele
How we act with each other really reveals our most animal instincts.

I've always thought of myself as an African-American comedian, African-American man, everything.

Jordan Peele
Race is a universal flaw in humanity. So yes, I've been in many situations where I've felt like the outsider because of the color of my skin.
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
Racism is within each and every one of us.
Jordan Peele
I don't think that humans are, in our nature, we're evil or anything like that. But I do think there's a demon in our DNA, in our tribal subconscious that affects the way we work and we operate as a group.
Jordan Peele
I was raised that emotion was a good thing.
Jordan Peele
The conversation about race is inevitable. It's one that people know that we have to have and continue to have.
