More quotes by 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
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
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 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.

Sometimes survival seems like submitting. And that's really hard on the spirit.

I enjoy being surprised.
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
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
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
Whatever kids are into, that might be their thing.
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
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
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 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
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
I want to give people jobs and put them on great shows. I want to create careers for people.
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
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
