Green Book

From the screenplay:

Actually, I was trained to play classical music. Brahms, Franz Liszt, Chopin--it’s all I ever wanted to play.
(smile fades)
But I was persuaded by my record company to pursue a career in popular music instead. They told me audiences would never accept a black pianist on the classical stage. Wanted to turn me into just another “colored entertainer.” You know, the guy who smokes while he’s playing, who puts a glass of whisky on the piano and then gets mad when he’s not respected like Arthur Rubinstein. Well, you don’t see Arthur Rubenstein smoking and putting a drink on his piano.
