“I’d love to direct at some point. But right now I’m just focused on trying to tell cool stories and put on for the culture. You know, for us. I want a young black dude to be able to look up to me and say, ‘I can do more than I thought I could do before.’” 

                   Happy Birthday Lakeith Stanfield! (12 August 1991)

He converted to Islam in 1999, after attending a mosque with his future wife. His faith, he says, has helped him become a better actor: “It benefits me from the standpoint of really creating empathy for these characters that I try to embody, other human beings with issues as deep and personal as my own. Because of Islam, I am acutely aware that I am a work in progress.” The daily practice of the religion, he says, “puts a healthy pressure on you to be your best self, beginning with your own spirit and how that feeds into your actions.”

Do you see film itself in any way, then, as a form of resistance?:

Elia Suleiman: Yes, like love is, or art. Any expression or aesthetic domain that’s exemplifying spaces of freedom is definitely a form of resistance. Laughter is, too. And poetry. That’s why authorities hate both.
