More quotes by Nate Parker

When an artist becomes complacent, he dies.

You can be addicted to White Supremacy and all of the benefits, you can be addicted to male privilege and all of the benefits that comes from it. It's like someone pointing at you and you have a stain on your shirt and you don't even know it.

It's therapy. [people] say true healing requires honest confrontation, and that can be seen on a macro scale with America and the things that have been swept under the rug, whether it be with the native Americans or slavery, or whatever holocaust that's happened on this soil.

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.
Nate Parker
I have engaged in hyper-male culture, and I'm learning about it, and I'm learning how I can change and help young boys and young men change.
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
I got work to do. I got a lot of work to do within myself.
Nate Parker
I'm trying to transform behaviors and ideas that have never been challenged in certain ways in my life. I'm not the kid that I was at 19.
Nate Parker
I prefer to make movies which not only have a message for then but a message for now.
Nate Parker
If I can use my platform to affect change in gender, as I can in race, then I think I can have an impact.
Nate Parker
And when I say dominate, I just mean work harder than anyone else could possibly work at 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
Some people think racism is if you say the n-word, so homophobia is if you call someone...
Nate Parker
