More quotes by Michael B. Jordan

When I hear people comparing Mike's [Jordan] work to Denzel [Washington] I think it's amazing.. Because Denzel is such an amazing, textured actor. And I think that that comes with Mike too. I'm not thinking about how they look, though I'm thinking about what they're able to accomplish.
Michael B. Jordan
Acting for me sometimes is taking whatever personal experiences I have and try to apply that [to a role].
Michael B. Jordan
Sometimes you gotta go with your first instinct. You gotta go with your gut. That's kind of how I live my life, you gotta go with your gut.

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

Phone calls are much more personal than texting and then when you get a girl on the phone, it's like you ask a question and you get a response back. For a text message, they can read it and get back to it whenever they want to. So that makes a difference, almost like a power play in a way.
Michael B. Jordan
Now I like to think that I'm in my character's head so much that I don't have to substitute. I'm in the moment I'm living in the moment. And if it's genuine, it's real, and if it comes out it comes out.
Michael B. Jordan
The world is a little more diverse in 2015 than when the Fantastic Four comic first came out in 1961.

Don't pretend to know everything. I've been blessed to work with a lot of veteran actors, and I soak up lessons from them like a sponge.
Michael B. Jordan
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.
Michael B. Jordan
Never played football, but I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor.
Michael B. Jordan
[Kyle Chandler] taught me how to listen very well and reacting. There's a lot of improv. And to be able to do that on the spot you really have to be in tune with what the other person is saying instead of just waiting for your cue line or waiting for a word for you to deliver your next line.
Michael B. Jordan
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.
Michael B. Jordan
[Kyle Chandler]definitely helped me out a lot, stepped up my game. Just like the volleying back and forth.
Michael B. Jordan
Honestly, I want to do films. I want to make that move from actor to producer, like Will Smith.
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.
Michael B. Jordan
That's probably why my face was looking so crazy when I was crying [in Hardball] because it was some real.
Michael B. Jordan
I've always been a fan of AXE and when I heard about their new product and they sent it out to me for me to try and smell and I was like, oh man. It's hard for me to talk about something I don't care about or I'm not really into but once I tried it out for myself I was like, wow okay I can get into this [ collaboration].
Michael B. Jordan
As human beings, why does it take somebody to feel like they're close to us for us to see their humanity? Why can't we see the humanity in people that are distant from us?
Michael B. Jordan
I definitely want to direct. This is just another learning experience for me, to get a chance to hear the questions and concerns the directors have, some of their fears. It's a team sport. You have to give everybody what they need so they are able to perform at their best.
