John David Washington

On a Spike Lee set, everybody seems to want to be there and is motivated to work in unison and do the best they can.

I have to keep making films, getting better in my craft, and the way to do that is to work with people who know what they're doing and who can help me.

I'm from the old school; hard work pays off.

I think, culturally, stories are important, whether it be cinema, whether it be by word of mouth - which I don't even know if we do anymore, as it all seems to be social media.
