The good thing about a film, or at least the films I've been a part of, is, no matter what happens in the end, you do the premiere and everyone's excited. You don't remember the rough times.

More quotes by Nate Parker
Some people think racism is if you say the n-word, so homophobia is if you call someone...
Nate Parker
And when I say dominate, I just mean work harder than anyone else could possibly work at it.
Nate Parker
Race I've been studying since I knew there was a problem with race and that I was Black and something was wrong. Gender, is very new to me. All I can say is this is something that I'm going to take hold of and pray about it.
Nate Parker
I think it takes a lot of courage to be able to direct a film. If you have that courage and that vision together, and you pick the cast that you believe will achieve your vision, you win.
Nate Parker
This is the psychosis of being a human being - the things that we deal with on a day-to-day basis that make us who we are and that sometimes we have to get on the couch and talk out.
Nate Parker
I think Jesse [Zwick] is part of a new generation of director, because we'd be kidding ourselves if we did not acknowledge that there is this unsaid rule that the hero looks a certain way.
Nate Parker
I got work to do. I got a lot of work to do within myself.
Nate Parker
Far too often scripts are being written with race in mind, but the subject matter doesn't lend itself to any conversation on race. I applaud Jesse [Zwick] for having the courage to say, this [About Alex] just a story about friends, and they could be anyone. There's no specific color that forces a relationship to be discussed in any other manner.
Nate Parker
I'm not perfect, I'm a flawed man, but I'm willing to try to get better, I'm willing to listen.
Nate Parker
I'm 36-years-old and I'm learning about definitions that I should have known when I started having sex.
Nate Parker
When an artist becomes complacent, he dies.
Nate Parker
If a director, I believe, has vision and knows so clearly what they want, then you can have a film that can perform. Whereas you can have done 50 movies, but if you're unsure this time, your movie may not turn out.
Nate Parker
I never examined my role in male culture, in hyper masculinity. I never examined it, nobody ever called me on it.
Nate Parker
I don't want to be a leader that is one-dimensional or two-dimensional because he's not willing to be open.
Nate Parker
Being a woman in 2016 if very different, imagine being a woman 20 years ago, and when we talk about consent, maybe 20 years from now we'll know things about consent and examine it from a different perspective than we are now.
Nate Parker
I was working in computers when this stranger approached me out of the blue, saying I should become an actor. I took it as a gift from God, because I had been praying for clarity about what He wanted me to do, since I wasn't happy in computers.
Nate Parker
Self-esteem and identity are very fragile things. I think a lot of times, those are the motivations for why people do take their own lives - not being seen, not being recognized, not being loved, not feeling supported, not feeling understood.
Nate Parker
In all actuality, we got to do better about preparing our men for their interactions with women.
Nate Parker
I can't remember ever having a conversation about the definition of consent when I was a kid. I knew that no meant no, but that's it.
Nate Parker
Sometimes little things can prolong an experience in a way that you run over budget. It's very scientific a lot of people don't understand the science that goes behind making a film.
