[Kyle Chandler]definitely helped me out a lot, stepped up my game. Just like the volleying back and forth.

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.

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
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.

Never played football, but I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor.

[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
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
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
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.

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
I was born and raised in the Bay Area. It's the place I got a deep, deep affection for.
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
That's probably why my face was looking so crazy when I was crying [in Hardball] because it was some real.
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
As an actor, you always dream of having material that showcases what you can do.
Michael B. Jordan
For me, with me, making a film is always about humanity.
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
I think it's just easier for people to put you in a box or a lane because you look similar. I think that's unfair for anybody in any situation.
Michael B. Jordan
Honestly, I want to do films. I want to make that move from actor to producer, like Will Smith.
