Sykes
Some people would view Jackie Robinson as a very safe African-American, a docile figure who had a tendency to try to get along with everyone, and when you look at his history, you learn that he has this fire that allows him to take this punishment but also figure out savvy ways of giving it back. – Chadwick Boseman
The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film – whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture – so you have something to make a movie about.

One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it.

That is the whole history of politics. – Emmeline Pankhurst
