More quotes by Andre Holland
The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.
Andre Holland
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
Working on Shakespeare and learning about Shakespeare was the big takeaway for me.
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
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
Barry Jenkins just cast the right people and framed things the right way.
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
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 personally feel like black people in America have contributed so much for so long, and haven't always gotten credit for it.
Andre Holland
I want to shift my career back to shows like The Knick. I prefer the classic drama structure.
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 policies enacted during segregation are still being felt in Birmingham.
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 have known Tarell Alvin McCraney for ten years but the involvement with Moonlight came more with Barry Jenkins, the director. He was a fan of the show I did called The Knick. He was also with Plan B Entertainment, who produced Selma. That is how I got involved.
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
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.
Andre Holland
I am also producing and writing a bunch.
Andre Holland
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
You have to see through one's faults before you see their need.
