BlacKkKlansmanI have a lot of things in my head, and I’ve come to understand that the one I think about the most is the one that I should pursue. But this is a tough business.

You recently launched a fellowship with the Gersh Agency—Spike Fellows Program—for students from historically Black colleges like Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark Atlanta University. What was the idea behind the initiative? It’s something I’ve been doing since the beginning, which is to get Black people, Brown people in front of and behind the camera. But the next task is the agencies and the managers and those jobs within the studios. This is something that hopefully the other agencies will say, “Damn, look what Spike and Gersh are doing. We gotta get in that too.”

This is the seventh year he has not played. He made a good point. People say, “Colin, you haven’t played in seven years.” He says, “Yeah, but you don’t say why I haven’t played in seven years.
