More quotes by Michael B. Jordan
I definitely want to do films. To see a character out from beginning to end in a matter of a hundred somewhat pages and then move on to the next role, is fascinating.
Michael B. Jordan
I was born in Orange County - in Santa Ana. My dad is from California. I was raised on the East Coast. My first two years were in California, but I claim East Coast. I'm sorry, I don't rep California.
Michael B. Jordan
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
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. And music excites me because it puts me in a mind state, whatever that may be.
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
For me, with me, making a film is always about humanity.
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.
Michael B. Jordan
ESPN Zone was probably the coolest thing I could do [making Hardball]. But Navy Pier was the other thing. I'd take my bicycle and ride down to Navy Pier and just hang out. Try to get a phone number or something. That was my thing.
Michael B. Jordan
I'm pretty sure that wasn't Oscar's first time getting harassed or held-up by authorities. And over time you start to feel some type of way when you get pulled over. Oh, I gotta go through this. Again.
Michael B. Jordan
Honestly, I'm a firm believer in the next generation of filmmakers. It's very important to keep things fresh, new, current. They have a pulse on what's important today.
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
[Chris Evans] is doing an amazing job with Captain America. I really enjoy those films as well so that's kind of pretty much where that was.
Michael B. Jordan
Working with [Kyle Chandler] in the scene was like playing tennis. You work with really talented actors, I think they make other actors look really, really good.
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 feel like you have to pull from some personal experiences [to acting]. At least that's how I work sometimes. It's just easier that way. And I try it as best as I can and kind of dissolve myself and become a character, not me, or just blur the lines.
Michael B. Jordan
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
My life is so random. Certain things I can't even explain. There's a thing about being lucky and... I feel like certain things are just, like, in your cards. I'm just walking the path that's already set.
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
Father-daughter relationship, is something that I think is so unique and it can't really be explained unless you have a daughter.
Michael B. Jordan
[Ryan Gosling] just got by because he's a cute kid? Yeah. I was an ugly kid The Mickey Mouse Club wasn't for me.
