- [shooting an entire two-round boxing match as a single take in Creed (2015)] Everybody thinks we're cheating, but that is one shot. (...) With one take, I think you don't need to rely on movie editing to dictate emotion. When it's well done, when it's not virtuosity, when it's not too self-aware, it's powerful. Sometimes the virtuosity of one take can take away from the richness, but in "Creed", you are in the ring with this boxer and I think it's emotionally powerful. [2015]
- [on Creed (2015)] A movie like Raging Bull (1980) is gorgeous, but it's not what we wanted to do. Ryan [director Ryan Coogler] very much wanted to stay in the realm of reality and seeing the boxer alone in the ring. Once you're in the ring, you don't have teammates. You are alone. There's no one to lean on. That was kind of the idea. [2015]
