Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington on the Transformative Impact of 'The Piano Lesson'
Briefly

"So the whole time we did the play, I had no Boy Willie conversations with him. I didn't tell him what to do... Boy Willie is a complicated character and you have to have a certain amount of comfortability in your understanding of him to be able to get those things out of your mouth that he's saying."
"I'll forever be grateful for August Wilson and this play and this movie... It helped me at least see the possibilities of the actor I want to be... This is something I've been wanting to do my whole life, and for the first time I'm actually seeing the actor I could maybe become one day. And I have August Wilson to thank for that."
