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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
I want to shift my career back to shows like The Knick. I prefer the classic drama structure.
Andre Holland
People sometimes say, What is your dream role? I don't really have a dream role. I'll know it when I see it.
Andre Holland
Barry Jenkins just cast the right people and framed things the right way.

If I find great material, or a great character, or a great director that wants to do something on TV, or whether it's in film, or whatever it is, man - as long as it's good, and on the level, I'm open to it.
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 am also producing and writing a bunch.

There are so many brilliant, trained actors of color in America. If you just think about it, every year in the spring Julliard and NYU and Yale and hundreds of schools across the country graduate classes of trained actors, and in those classes are actors of color. So to say that there aren't enough actors of color is factually inaccurate.
Andre Holland
I went down and spoke to some of the people who lived in the neighborhood in Miami. At the end of the day I think my connection with Tarell [Alvin McCraney] is what helped me the most.
Andre Holland
Politically, nowadays, as we know and feel, we are similarly underrepresented and not heard.
Andre Holland
I love to sing. I'm definitely not a very good singer, but when I'm in my shower I get down for sure.
Andre Holland
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential.
Andre Holland
I just hope to work with great people, and do things that are challenging for me and that I can be proud of and not have to hide my face about. Those are my guidelines.
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
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
Now, perhaps more than ever, we need more and more examples of healing. We need to learn what it takes to heal.
Andre Holland
The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.
