Yeah. In the movie, he says, step aside, gal. And the gas from black women in the theater was like, ooh. So, yeah, gal is offensive. It's like boy calling a black man a boy.

I tell you, the thing that warms my soul the most is the understanding that it was once a Confederate Army base where there were soldiers plotting and planning on how to keep 3.9 million Negroes enslaved. And now that land being owned by me, how great is this country that that could happen? So if that could happen for me, I don't care who you are, where you come from.

America is an incredible place to just be and dream and live and grow. And as many problems as we have as a country, we are still a great nation that when we galvanize and come together, we can do anything.

Yeah, for sure. Nowhere else in the world. But the fact that it's tangible, does that feel special? It does. My father would build houses. He was a subcontractor and he would get paid his $800 and he would be so happy. Oh, I got my money. But I watched a guy that he sold the house, usually a white man, sell the house for $80,000. And I always wondered, why won't you do that?

But looking at it from this point of view, I realized the burden of being the man who owns the house. I don't have any partners. I don't have shareholders. So when that $100,000 light bill is due, I've got to pay it. That $180 plus million in payroll for all the actors and everybody, I've got to pay that every year. So I understand the blessing of it. I also understand the burden of it.

The journals, yeah. And I get that. And every time I'm driving through the gates, I am reminded of how profound and wonderful this moment is, especially because there's so many people who wanted to do it. I can't tell you the last person who developed a studio of this magnitude. You think about Disney and Warner Brothers. So to do it at this time and at this level has really, really been profound.
