At the end of 'Endgame,' the shield was given to Sam and he said, 'It feels like it's someone else's.' That conversation, for me, was the most important conversation to have. A Black man picking up the shield - what was that going to look like?

In the U.S. box-office driven industry, if you want to do a smaller personal film, you have to find your own financing.

I think if Marvel called me to do anything - if they called me to film the phone book - I would do it.

I was interested in the human journey, the conundrum of when the right and wrong of both sides get murky. You have to make some very strong choices that you'll have to live with.

As a female, you're always terrified that if you blow it, you've blown it for your whole gender.

Anthony Mackie is better at being Sam Wilson than I am. So I embrace his ideas.

Grief is the great equalizer.

Because if a woman can only direct women, and men can only direct men, and Black directors can only direct Black actors, then we are missing out on opening up voices to different perspectives.

If a Canadian novel hasn't been a box-office success, say, 'The Republic of Love,' then producers are reluctant to try again.

It's small things like that - a pen, or being able to communicate freely - that we should always cherish.

Extreme sports has changed our aesthetics because they slap cameras all over the place and we really know that they are jumping out of a plane or parachuting or whatever it is they're doing.

On 'Handmaid's' you are given complete freedom - unlike some shows where you're really expected just to 'fold in' and 'deliver the script' and 'put the camera where we normally put the camera.'

And that's one of the joys of the MCU universe... it has so many different paths and lanes and stories, and they don't shy away from neither the controversial nor the emotional.
