And can you imagine? You know what I mean? Can you imagine? It's like... They've gotten to, like, an impossible situation, you know? It's like, my dad growing up first at Harlem and then Mount Vernon and just kind of, like, where he's ascended to in his... You'd be claiming Harlem like that? Yeah. What you mean? Harlem, Harlem, Harlem. Yeah, right.

And then God forbid he meets somebody from Mount Vernon and then it's like, what's Harlem, you know? But yeah, you know, they both overcome and made such incredible lives for themselves. And I think we carry pride of coming from such strong, you know, people that live a purposeful life.

Yes. I used to call the house. I used to call the house. And, of course, you have that thing when you're 16, 17, maybe staying out a little late or something or the report card came in and it wasn't perfect. And you call the house and you're like, oh, I hope my sister picks up. I hope my brother picks up. And John David would pick up, and he would sound just like my dad. Hello? Oh, my goodness.

I would stand straight up. Where the hell was I? Dang. I guess I can't deny it. It's always been like that.

You know what? I think that there's a really wonderful thing happening now where so far there's three films. There's been three different filmmakers and three different voices that have come to them. And each of the films kind of reflect the voice of the filmmaker so far. Like my dad with Fences, Mr. Wolf with, you know, he's an incredible theater director.

So I hope that for the rest of them, they continue to get varied voices from different backgrounds and different kind of points of view and let this whole thing be a much larger kind of project where you look back and it's this tapestry of Black artists working this time, connecting to this seminal texts.
