More quotes by 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
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
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 got work to do. I got a lot of work to do within myself.
Nate Parker
When you're 19, getting a girl to say yes, or being a dog, or being a player, cheating. Consent is all about - for me, back then - if you can get a girl to say yes, you win.
Nate Parker
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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 never examined my role in male culture, in hyper masculinity. I never examined it, nobody ever called me on it.
Nate Parker
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.
Nate Parker
Some people think racism is if you say the n-word, so homophobia is if you call someone...
Nate Parker
In all actuality, we got to do better about preparing our men for their interactions with women.
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
When an artist becomes complacent, he dies.
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
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
