Personal Quotes

Shooting a season can be a grind. It can be seven to eight months of work. Once you stop, it slows down any momentum you had.

When you’re playing a superhero, you’re almost playing two different people. I separate when I’m playing Jefferson Pierce and the days when I’m playing Black Lightning.

My first job was television. I got to where I wanted to go, but through a little bit of a detour. When I first started working in film and television, I hated myself – I didn’t like what I was doing at all. All I could think of was, ‘I’m overacting. Be smaller.’ I started to do that, but that was not fun. I felt confined doing film and TV.

Sometimes you got to mess stuff up to get change going.

As a kid, you just like anything fanciful that you’re into, but as an adult, I really love that kind of place where the super hero mythos meets life, where it has that human story; that’s what I think I was really drawn to when I started getting into the X-Men. 9Source: brainyquote.com
