The writers are very good about misdirection and changeups, and that's what's great about it. We always think we know what's going to happen and then they throw a curveball that you don't see coming.
Mike Colter
The awkward thing is the people in the room besides us. It's not us. It's just the 20 or 30 people that are around on set, who normally wouldn't be on set. That's always interesting.
Mike Colter
Love, for me, is always wanting the best for the other person even if it's not what's best for you.
Mike Colter
Most of the people you look at in the early days of Harlem - the zoot suits, the music, the style of fashion, the vibrant colors - that's all influences from the south.
Mike Colter
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have a lot of hobbies. It's not because I don't have interests, it's just that I don't have the time.

I haven't had ice-cream in a year, although I did have a slice of pizza. People don't realise that when you're shooting a movie it's only three months to get in shape for.

Dialogue is not always the best way to show emotion, to show your thought process, or to reveal yourself, as a character.

This show [Jessica Jones] was exploring the aftermath, and that is unique. You're sitting there going, I know what happens. This is the aftermath. You watch her daily life and how she dealt with people, like new prospects for love or friends that were close to her, but she didn't know if she could trust them or if they were enemies.
Mike Colter
I guess it's a bit cliché, but as an actor, I really admire good writing. There are a lot of great ideas out there, but it's the execution that really makes it work.
Mike Colter
When I find material that gives me a natural yet unique character point of view and has well - developed characters throughout the script, it makes the hairs on my arm stand up.
Mike Colter
Part of acting is always just being available emotionally and open to people.
Mike Colter
Things don't happen that fast in real life.
Mike Colter
As long as I didn't have to put on the tiara and the chains and the big yellow shirt for the whole series, I was up for anything.
Mike Colter
I've never really been into doing a lot of social media, but it's a great way for people to talk amongst themselves on a large platform and to have a large conversation with people who also enjoy the same thing.
Mike Colter
I met some people in college and I kept cracking away until someone pointed me in the right direction.
Mike Colter
When you take the job, you never think about how many days you're going to take bullets. Sometimes you go on set and you're thinking, Ah, a day when I don't have to get shot. This is going to be a nice day.

Luke Cage is using his open hand instead of a closed fist. It's a little disrespectful but it's very effective. Some people call it a pimp slap, we call it smack-fu. He's doing you a favour by hitting you with an open hand. It hurts, it renders you unconscious but you live.
Mike Colter
Tequila is my drink. It is my favorite alcohol, my favorite liquor because, you know, it's a stimulant and not a depressant. If I go to a party and everyone's been drinking and I don't have time to really catch up - I'm not trying to get drunk but I want to feel good - I drink tequila.
