Notable quotes

“I think you realize how much you need to have people that you love. It's not as much about them loving you — it's about you needing to love people, you needing to have people that you can ert[sic — (perhaps "exert")] that energy toward. You have to have those people.”
— Response to question: "How does love change as you get older?"
“It's a utopia. It's not just an African utopia — it's a utopia. It's a place where spirituality and science do not war with each other.”
— Describing Wakanda
