He was the former mayor of Atlanta Georgia.. and he was one of Dr. King Lieutenant . he said things are really bad for black Americans.. the worst it I’ve been in 60 years.

Quentin Tarantino says actors aren’t hired to rewrite scripts, they’re hired to deliver them.
“Actors aren't there to riff, they're there to say my dialogue, and if their riffing actually happens to be genius, I will just take credit for it”
