‘Rocky’ is an incredibly human story, and ‘Creed’ is very inspired by the Rocky lore, but there’s something kind of profound in letting it all go. This is the first time I’m co-writing, and I’m learning as I go. This process is so different from ‘Fruitvale’; hopefully it gets made. – Ryan Coogler

What a fine line there is between artistry and insanity. There’s no formula for it, and I think a lot of people when they’re around you – even those closest to you – when you’re in that whirl of creativity and you’re grabbing those things out of the air, there’s no rational process. – Ronnie Dunn
