“That said, you have a professional life, you’ve got a personal life. Personal life, I’m going to say that when you work in something that you love, those things blend, they come together. I’m trying to find a work-life balance.”

“But I’m not there yet, so this is without a question the hardest thing I’ve had to do in my professional life,” he said.

“This one hurts and stings, but it’s also incredibly motivating.”

“I’m incredibly sad to lose him but I’m also incredibly motivated that I got to spend time with him. You spend your life hearing about people like him,” Coogler shared.

“For this individual, who is an ancestor now, I was there for it. It’s such an incredible privilege that fills you up as much as it knocks you out. So often as Black people, we have to pick up the pieces after loss,” he added.
