You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this. ↗

I literally integrated the small town of Libertyville, Illinois. I was the first person of color to reside within its borders. ↗

I have a really difficult time watching myself on film. I literally cower in my seat and cover my face. ↗
