"Beyond the Lights" movie quotes tell the story of two aspiring young people who find each other at crossroads in their lives. The romantic drama movie was written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. "Beyond the Lights" opened in theaters across the U.S. on November 14, 2014.
In "Beyond the Lights," Noni Jean (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is an up-and-coming singer who just broke into the mainstream, much from the help of her mother, Macy (Minnie Driver). But as Noni gains in popularity and fame, her feelings that she's just a puppet and cannot truly express herself, only the desires of others, pushes her to jump off a balcony. She's saved by the quick thinking of young police officer Kaz Nicol (Nate Parker) and the two begin a romantic relationship.
But with Kaz under the own parental pressures of his own with father David (Danny Glover) pushing him into politics, their relationship faces some bumps in the road early on. With both Noni and Kaz facing big decisions about what they truly want in life, they find that no matter what, they need each other.

We want to see you. Exactly. A little bit of that. All right, let's lose the jacket. Can we lose the jacket? That's right. Yeah. You look gorgeous. Perfect. Angle your body, that's it. This is it.

Pastor Marks: "Officer Nicol, I was more than willing to break bread with you but I'm not sure I can support someone who looks like a college boy."
Kaz Nicol: "There was a 26-year-old minister who led the civil rights movement."
Reverend Brown: "Are you comparing yourself to Dr. King?"
Kaz Nicol: "Not at all, reverend. What I mean to say is, progress rarely comes from those who are content and secure. It comes from those who are unsettled by what they've seen. There is a daily violence in our community and I have a front row seat to it. Nothing stops a bullet like a job. L.A. is better when our community is strong and I'm going to inspire city hall to invest in us. Now the truth is, I can't win the election in this district without your support. I hope that you become more familiar with me. I can earn your respect. In the meantime, my actions will speak louder than anything I can say tonight."

…
Macy Jean: "This thing, it's not good for her. You throw off her game."
