real real-life
Things don't happen that fast in real life.
hurt long people
I'm pretty relaxed on what people should be able to do as long as they're not hurting anybody else.
Love, for me, is always wanting the best for the other person even if it's not what's best for you.
mother dream proud
My mother wanted to be an actress. She wanted to follow her dreams and she never really got a chance to do that. I feel like I'm following her dream in a way. She's proud of me for doing what I wanted to do, but at the same time, I'm kind of taking up where she left off.
As an actor, you learn, every time you work.
men women-want
A lot of times in life, women want to talk, but men don't want to listen, and if they do want to listen, they turn it back to themselves.
regret real people
In real life, people end up doing things because it's convenient and it works for them. You don't get up every day regretting what you're doing.
thinking long arcs
It's a long arc and a long storyline, and I think it leaves us in a great place to see how we interact again, whether that be for The Defenders, Jessica Jones Season 2, or whatever. We'll see. I don't know.
thinking misdirection curveballs
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.
people southern influence
When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place. A lot of them are from the south, so they bring those southern influences with them.
people evil law-enforcement
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.
people expectations kind
When you're the lead and on most of the call sheets, some people have expectations of you and whether you like it or not, you kind of set the tone.
strong real unique
As a male, I thought the female voice was so strong, unique, real and accessible to most females. In some way, shape or form, they felt like they could relate to it, on some level, because they went through some form of unspeakable horror like what Kilgrave did to Jessica [Jones]. That, in itself, is something that most people shy away from, even in shows that are on cable or in movies.
