I love sports. I've played basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field growing up.

Sometimes family doesn't always consist of your relatives or by blood. Sometimes your best friends can feel more like family than your cousins. I think everybody kind of has that same feeling. When you go through an accident together, when you go through a traumatic event, sometimes that brings you closer together.
Michael B. Jordan
I'm extremely blessed. There's a lot of people trying to exactly what I'm doing, but I'm a part of that 9.1 percent that's actually having their dream come true. I just don't take that for granted.

For me the movie [Fruitvale Station ] wasn't about that. The movie's about [Oscar Grant] life. And what happens on the platform is a very short part of the film. It's from Oscar's perspective. From the perspectives of the relationships that he's involved with.
Michael B. Jordan
My forever mission is to take the best elements of both commercial and independent films and bring them together. I learned so much about the art of independent films and I have so much fun in commercial ones. I think that a mix of both is good.
Michael B. Jordan
I was born and raised in the Bay Area. It's the place I got a deep, deep affection for.

That's probably why my face was looking so crazy when I was crying [in Hardball] because it was some real.

Acting for me sometimes is taking whatever personal experiences I have and try to apply that [to a role].

Watching a really good movie excites me, because it makes we want to get up off the couch and go shoot something and act in a scene.

As I grow and get older, mature a bit, and work on my big boy voice a little bit, I definitely want to direct.

Start producing, some writing, directing is definitely what I want to do and I'll be doing a lot more in the future as well.
