We go to the theater to be entertained, but if what is left after

We go to the theater to be entertained, but if what is left after you watch the movie is a sort of eye-opening perspective on some social issues, then it can be a really powerful piece of art.

Jordan Peele

American - Actor Born: February 21, 1979

With the author

I think, before Obama, there was a glass ceiling. That's a big change. As a president, I think he was the best. I felt like I could trust his judgment, and he'd take a measured, empathetic approach. I don't see there ever being another Barack Obama.

Jordan Peele

When I talk about movies like 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'Stepford Wives,' I really noticed that these movies were able to address fears surround the women's lib movement in a way that was engaging, not preachy, but fun.

Jordan Peele

I define 'social thriller' as thriller/horror movies where the ultimate villain is society.

Jordan Peele

Each one of my movies is going to be about one of these different social demons. The first one, being 'Get Out,' is about race and neglect and marginalization.

Jordan Peele

African-American music tends to have, at the very least, a glimmer of hope to it - sometimes full-fledged hope.

Jordan Peele

I was a very scared child. Not, you know, not so much of life but of the demons that lurked in the dark. And horror movies terrified me. You know, I'd love watching them but then at night, I would just be up in sweats all night.

Jordan Peele

'Thelma and Louise' was a pretty important film for me and still is. It's a social film about many things - gender, freedom - and it puts someone like me into the place of these protagonists. Watching that movie, you are living through the eyes of these women.

Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.

Malcolm de Chazal

I'm calling the Cube, it's a piece of art. At the same time, it's an intellectual task as well.

Erno Rubik

The philistine provides the best definition of art. Anything that makes him rage is first class.

Louis Dudek

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Isaac Newton

I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

Jodie Foster

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.

William Osler

I like the elitism of the art world. I think art for the people is a terrible idea.

John Waters

Art is nothing but the expression of our dream; the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things, our dream-life, the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.

Franz Marc
