Personal Quotes

I knew [Jesse Owens’] name, but I really didn’t remember what it is he had done, so I felt like I had to get refreshed. So I read the script and I realized like, wow, this is an incredible human being. I told my manager, however I had to do it, let me see the director; I got to play him.

Sacrifice. I’d never been in a position where I was number one on the call sheet, and everything was in my lap. I worked 16 hour days, and I was just not the lead of any film, it was a film about Jesse Owens, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century. It was a whole new type of responsibility. It was a big weight, and I wanted to do him justice, especially in reviving him after 80 years.

The issue of racism happens all over the world. Granted, people – especially Americans – don’t know the the Canadian culture. But if you look outside this country, it’s a problem all around the planet.

What I’ve learned about that word is context, where the world is coming from – in the era the film is set, it obviously is used derogatorily. In ‘Selma,’ it was the same sort of thing. Of course now, in music, it’s used in many more ways, including ways that takes the sting out of it. It all depends on where and when it is used, and how you look at it. But again in ‘Race,’ it is intensely disrespectful.

Jesse Owen was bigger than a black hero, he was an American hero. For me, I looked at it from that perspective. Through my research, I obviously learned a lot, much of which made me sad, upset, disappointed and even angry, regarding what Jesse had to go through. Not only was he a black man in America during an age of high racial tension and segregation, but he was also living in the middle of the Great Depression – it was very difficult times for him and his family. 4Source: azquotes.com
