For AXE to take a chance on me and to help me, you know, collaborating with them was just a really, really big deal for me. It shows that they bought into me and vice versa so it's a good relationship.

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
As I grow and get older, mature a bit, and work on my big boy voice a little bit, I definitely want to direct.
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
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
Honestly, I want to do films. I want to make that move from actor to producer, like Will Smith.
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
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
I love sports. I've played basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field growing up.
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
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 want the scripts Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't have time for. Joseph Gordon-Levitt isn't available? Call me.
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.
Michael B. Jordan
My mother's in my life, but at the time you imagine your mom passing away, not being there ... as a kid you try to think of something that hurts you the most ... It was just a tool [in Hardball].
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
We were shooting this movie called Hardball, with Keanu Reeves. We shot in the city, and I just remember I couldn't really do too much. At 13 or 14, you couldn't go out to any nightlife.
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
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
That's probably why my face was looking so crazy when I was crying [in Hardball] because it was some real.
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 want to do more films.
Michael B. Jordan
