"I think differences is the American superpower. That is the reason we're incredible. Such a variety of various individuals from such a large number of better places including their thoughts, their motivation and impacts to this delightful American gumbo, For me, getting it done, Hollywood speaks to and after that makes the symbolism for that magnificence. Be that as it may, as far as it matters for me, I think I need to secure and battle for the standards that make our nation and Hollywood group incredible. So when I take a gander at the arrangement of assignments from the Academy, it's not mirroring that excellence."

"There's a disharmony that is preparing in our nation and in our industry – I need no parts of that," he said. "This is a marriage. I take a gander at it as this kind of enormous, mammoth, multi-interracial marriage. Some of the time useless. Be that as it may, the marriage is in a space where separation is impossible. We're all in this together. We need to make sense of it. We need to make it right."

"The assignments mirror the Academy, the Academy mirrors the business; reflects Hollywood. The business reflects America. It mirrors a progression of difficulties we're having in our nation right now. . That is not the business, that is not the America I need to abandon. There was a backward slide towards separatism, towards racial and religious disharmony, and that is not the Hollywood that I need to abandon"
