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.

More quotes by 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 don't believe in breaks. Not yet. I'm too young. I'll find the next job to keep me busy between seasons.
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
Even afterwards when you go through a scene and then step off, sometimes you need a minute to just decompress.
Aldis Hodge
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.
Aldis Hodge
I want to give people jobs and put them on great shows. I want to create careers for people.
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.
Aldis Hodge
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.
Aldis Hodge
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.
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 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
I enjoy being surprised.
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'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
You go home happy, you go to work happy, you make a better project because everybody loves it and loves each other.
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
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
Sometimes survival seems like submitting. And that's really hard on the spirit.
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
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
