More quotes by Mike Colter
When you're casting, you get a page or two - just enough to do the scene. Now that you're in the world, you get the whole script.
Mike Colter
So often, when you're playing the lead in your own show, it is all about you.

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
I respond to powerful women. I'm not intimidated by that, I like that, it's not something I shy away from, so I don't want women who are looking for me to take care of them. To me, that's a turn-off. I respond to strong, powerful, independent women.

Law enforcement has always had informants and people they've had to deal with, who walk a certain line. They're choosing between the lesser of two evils. They're befriend one person to gain access to another person, who's a bigger fish.

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.

As an actor you just want to continue to work on things that you like. You can be in this business a long time and consistently working and just be totally artistically unfulfilled.
Mike Colter
I'm actually filming all the time, and I don't have much time to do anything. I've always been that way.
Mike Colter
You see a lot of Baptist churches in Harlem, you see a lot of the same kind of cuisine, the soul food - there's a lot of places that remind you of its southern roots.
Mike Colter
Dialogue is not always the best way to show emotion, to show your thought process, or to reveal yourself, as a character.
Mike Colter
I met some people in college and I kept cracking away until someone pointed me in the right direction.
Mike Colter
I've learned over the years, when someone is complaining or wants to vent and has something they want to tell you, they don't necessarily want you to fix it.
Mike Colter
What I enjoyed about being in the world of Jessica Jones, as Luke Cage, is that I wasn't front and center because it was Jessica Jones' story, but it allowed me to find the character from a different perspective.
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
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
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
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.
Mike Colter
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
Comic book heroes are an important part of our culture.
Mike Colter
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.
