More quotes by Aldis Hodge
I remember my mom had a conversation with Sam Jackson about what she should do with our careers and what the next step should be I was eight and my brother was nine. He said, You need to get them on Broadway.
Aldis Hodge
Even though the topic [of slavery] itself is the big, screaming elephant in the room, we still get a chance to have fun and enjoy what is on the screen, and we have moments where we're actually happy.
Aldis Hodge
I also think it's important for us to hold our elected officials accountable and part of how you do that is simple, call them and let them know when you agree or disagree with what their decisions are and suggest how they should come out on certain legislation that important to you.
Aldis Hodge
Regardless of the project, whenever you're working on something, the best you can hope for is to be around good people.

It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.
Aldis Hodge
They don't really focus on that history here in America. I remember growing up as a kid, history class was very washed-over. They didn't really get into the gritty bits of slavery. It's a very, very small section in the history books. It's not something they really touch on directly with American curriculums.

Sometimes survival seems like submitting. And that's really hard on the spirit.
Aldis Hodge
Even afterwards when you go through a scene and then step off, sometimes you need a minute to just decompress.

Because sometimes listening to something will connect to a feeling, it will allow you to emote subconsciously, and you don't even understand why you're in it.
Aldis Hodge
With any good projects, I feel like the off-screen chemistry factors on-screen. It's great when you don't have to force it, but when it's not there you better focus on getting there, because as we live with these characters we spend more time with one another than we do our families at home.
Aldis Hodge
I was too young to understand who Sam[uel L.] Jackson was or who Bruce Willis was, who Jeremy Irons was at the time. All I knew was that they were good to me then.
Aldis Hodge
The time frame and how people treated each other was upsetting, but what's great about this story is that they really focus on the strengths of these people and the strengths of the culture, of who these Americans were. That, actually, is uplifting.
Aldis Hodge
A subject I'm particularly passionate about is the criminal justice system and almost all of the policies that impact people's lives are determined on a local level.
Aldis Hodge
You go home happy, you go to work happy, you make a better project because everybody loves it and loves each other.
Aldis Hodge
I'd like to think that in any circumstance I'd say, You know what? Screw this. Kill me. I'm done. I'm not going to grovel.
Aldis Hodge
I want to give people jobs and put them on great shows. I want to create careers for people.
Aldis Hodge
The danger in having modern music tied to a period piece is that hearing something may take you out of the moment.
Aldis Hodge
I enjoy being surprised.
Aldis Hodge
I love my job, simply because we can keep things fresh, all the time. That's a luxury not all shows have. For us, as actors, it keeps us interested in our jobs and it keeps us coming back to work, every day. A new setting is amazing 'cause it's new for the team and it's new for our characters.

The introduction of Harriet Tubman is going to be very exciting, she's a real life superhero so for us to be able to feature her this season is groundbreaking for a television series.
