More quotes by 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 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
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
The policies enacted during segregation are still being felt in Birmingham.
Andre Holland
I just want to play interesting characters, and I want to work with the best directors I can work with.
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
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 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
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
The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.
Andre Holland
Barry Jenkins just cast the right people and framed things the right way.
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
Working on Shakespeare and learning about Shakespeare was the big takeaway for me.
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
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 am also producing and writing a bunch.
Andre Holland
Politically, nowadays, as we know and feel, we are similarly underrepresented and not heard.
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
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential.
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.
