More quotes by Andre Holland
When you're playing Shakespeare, it forces you to think and feel and speak all at the same time, which really is what acting is. It expands your imagination and expands your size of thinking.
Andre Holland
I have worked with Tarell Alvin McCraney, who is the play Moonlight is based on. He's a company member at Steppenwolf. I have done a could of his plays here.
Andre Holland
I wanted to work with Barry [ Jenkins]. I am a big fan of his from Medicine for Melancholy years ago. Tarrell [Alvin McCraney] is my favorite playwright. I will do anything he asks. The characters were so clearly drawn and three dimensional. It was an easy thing to say yes to.
Andre Holland
It is that rare film [Moonlight] that comes along once in a while that catches the zeitgeist. This movie is that. I certainly have my fingers crossed that it is. Everyone needs to see this movie.
Andre Holland
I think working on Shakespeare was a big part of my time at drama school. I'm so glad that I got to know Shakespeare and got a chance to play great parts in Shakespeare, because it really teaches you - or taught me, anyway - everything.
Andre Holland
I look at it [Moonlight] and young Alex Hibbert who plays the young Chiron gives such a beautiful performance. By the time you get to the third story there have been so many great performances that you forget this kid was brilliant. Everybody does their job. It really is a true ensemble. I wish that were a category at the Oscars.
Andre Holland
The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.
Andre Holland
You turn up in the morning, you get through hair and make-up, and then you are on set working until it's time to go home. And I love that. Coming from the theater, you just turn up and you're ready for whatever happens. That energy really appeals to me.
Andre Holland
All the craft skills that I have, I feel like I developed and honed in drama school. It's the most important thing for me.
Andre Holland
I had a cheat sheet because I knew Tarell [Alvin McCraney]. His movie is largely autobiographical. I knew about certain events in his life and some of the people he talks about. I had visited the place where he lived many times so I understood innately what that was.
Andre Holland
I definitely want to work with people who are artists and who are interested in being their best version of themselves.
Andre Holland
[Theater] has always been a big focus. I have been away from it for the past few years. I want to get back to it!
Andre Holland
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential.
Andre Holland
Politically, nowadays, as we know and feel, we are similarly underrepresented and not heard.
Andre Holland
Things maybe take longer usually when it comes to TV - especially network TV. There are usually multiple levels that you have to go through in terms of the casting director, the producers, the studio, the network, reading with other people.
Andre Holland
You have to see through one's faults before you see their need.
Andre Holland
Barry Jenkins just cast the right people and framed things the right way.
Andre Holland
I just want to play interesting characters, and I want to work with the best directors I can work with.
Andre Holland
The surgeries were the hardest scenes for me because it's literally balancing so many balls in the air, at the same time, and each surgery is different.

The policies enacted during segregation are still being felt in Birmingham.
