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.

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.

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.

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.
