Anthony Hemingway

“First and foremost, telling historical stories is very tricky because it is something that is known. It is not like you can tell a lie or change something that is written in black and white.”

“It's not a problem to be great and do good things.”

“Growing up, I didn't really know who the Tuskegee Airmen were.”

“There's so much music going on in New Orleans.”

“I grew up watching Westerns.”

“I really prayed and asked God for my first film.”

“I started directing on 'The Wire.'”

“When you sit on something for so long you can't see beyond it. It's all you can see, so you become locked in it.”

“I'm grateful for every chance I get to do something I love and have a passion for.”

“I'm not gonna lie: I was not a big 'Star Wars' geek.”

“I've always had a passion to help people.”

“With anything, and especially with the pallet of viewers in watching anything on TV and film, you have to entertain them.”

“When someone sees in you what you've been feeling all along, that's an awesome thing.”
