More quotes by 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.

In all actuality, we got to do better about preparing our men for their interactions with women.
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
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
I'm 36-years-old and I'm learning about definitions that I should have known when I started having sex.

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
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
Trying to convince someone that they are a racist or they have White Privilege - if it's in the air they breathe and the culture supports them, sometimes they never have to think about it at all.
Nate Parker
I got work to do. I got a lot of work to do within myself.
Nate Parker
I prefer to make movies which not only have a message for then but a message for 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
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
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
And when I say dominate, I just mean work harder than anyone else could possibly work at it.
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 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 don't want to be a leader that is one-dimensional or two-dimensional because he's not willing to be open.
