For me, it was definitely an education in being grateful. And appreciating the civil liberties we have today, the natural liberties we have at home.

More quotes by Aldis Hodge
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
When my brother was a child, he kept telling my mom he wanted to be in the box. She didn't get it - he was two or three years old and kept saying he wanted to be in the box. She finally realized he was talking about the television.
Aldis Hodge
Even afterwards when you go through a scene and then step off, sometimes you need a minute to just decompress.
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
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 want to give people jobs and put them on great shows. I want to create careers for people.
Aldis Hodge
It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.
Aldis Hodge
I was homeschooled until I was 14, and then when I was 14, I began attending college. Mom was not playing about that education. She always said, Acting is a privilege not a priority. Education is the priority. If you're not bringing home As and Bs, you can't go on the audition.
Aldis Hodge
Regardless of the project, whenever you're working on something, the best you can hope for is to be around good people.
Aldis Hodge
It's important for us to vote in mid-term off year elections in the times where state legislators and mayors offices are being vacated. These are the elections that actually impact the way we live oftentimes more than the President. So we have to pay attention to those things as well.
Aldis Hodge
I'm always ready and willing to just keep pushing and working and going because it's in my spirit.
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.
Aldis Hodge
Democracy only works, as President [Barack] Obama spoke of in his farewell message, if it's driven by the people and the people stay active and vigilant and speak out and let their concerns be known.
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
The danger in having modern music tied to a period piece is that hearing something may take you out of the moment.
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
Some of my job consists of me drafting and making technical drawings. So everything I did back then has materialized into something substantial for me today. Whatever kids are into, that might be their thing.
Aldis Hodge
I enjoy being surprised.
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.

I was too young to live on campus. I just went back and forth on the bus. Eventually I got my own car and thought I was Mr. Man, so I started hot wheelin' it.
