Aldis Hodge Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Aldis Hodge:

With contemporary music, you automatically get connected. It connects you to the emotion of the characters.

You have a plantation where you have 10 white people and you have about 50 or 60 black people. The automatic thought was, 'Why didn't they raise up? Why didn't they overpower? They had the numbers.' But really these people, their hope was broken. Their sense of love was broken. Their appreciation for who they were was broken.

Aldis Hodge

I am fortunate enough to find opportunities that have a lot of presence.

Aldis Hodge

My standard for the women in my life is like, 'If no man can treat you better than I can treat you, they can't come.' You gotta step up to the plate. With respect, with acknowledgment, with support.

Aldis Hodge

My sister is raised to know her value and to know that she stands behind no man. You know, when she gets a husband, you stand side by side, equal partnership. You stand behind no one cause you have to lift each other up. You can't do that if you're 30 percent of the value in your relationship or the household.

Aldis Hodge

If men were meant to be a dominant power, men would be on this earth by themselves. So, I don't understand when women's rights are challenged - because you're talking about human rights. You talk about subjugating an entire culture that we heavily depend on for everything we need for survival.

Aldis Hodge

New Orleans is New Orleans. It's a great city and fun and great food. It's one of those cities that when you are working hard hours like we work, you have to do as much as possible to stay out of trouble. Not much of a problem for me, but in New Orleans, trouble tries so much to find you.

Aldis Hodge

We're still talking about women's rights. We can't be the greatest country in the world. I think once we lose that illusionary veil of thinking that we are, we can face the problems and really try to fix them.

Aldis Hodge

I was always really geeky about design and buildings. Always into architecture as a kid.

Aldis Hodge

I think that my humble beginnings were very deliberate, and I'm grateful for them because I'm not sure I would see my achievements the same way if they were handed to me. I'm not sure my work ethic would be the same.

Aldis Hodge

As an actor, it's very rare that you get a choice in a matter. But you're always looking for something that has some gravitas.

Aldis Hodge

For some reason, I think that I'm not doing enough work. People are like, 'You're on a series right now,' but I'm always like, 'Yeah, but I can do more!'

Aldis Hodge

I think enslavement has evolved to what may seem appropriate to this day's generation. Modern enslavement is imprisonment.

Aldis Hodge

With any good projects, I feel like the off-screen chemistry factors on-screen. It's great when you don't have to force it, but when it's not there, you better focus on getting there because, as we live with these characters, we spend more time with one another than we do our families at home.

Aldis Hodge

I don't understand actors who complain when they get work. 'I'm working too much. I've got to get up too early ...' Isn't this the point? There's somebody right now who's bussing tables who would love your problems.

Aldis Hodge

I'm constantly looking for ways to learn and elevate your craft, patience for yourself, and patience for this business. It's not a fair business. You may be great, but it may take years for someone to notice what you're capable of because of politics.

Aldis Hodge

I want to have a resume that is substantial enough to hold itself as respectful.

Aldis Hodge

I came out of the womb drawing on everything; I used to draw on my mother's white furniture and her white walls with her red lipstick and my pencils. Little did she know that would later materialize into me doing what I do now - I'm a painter as well and a micromechanical engineer.

With contemporary music, you automatically get connected. It connects you to the emotion of the characters.

Aldis Hodge

A new setting is amazing cause it's new for the team, and it's new for our characters. It's a breakaway from the normal deal. You get so tired, locked into a show for so many years. You get used to doing the same thing. A little shake-up and change is good.

Aldis Hodge

When you do learn these things, when you understand what inclusion is, then we can accomplish greater things together.

Aldis Hodge

Every single step, although I couldn't see it, was a step forward and built to where I am now.

Aldis Hodge

What you do does matter. And people do remember it and feel it.

Aldis Hodge

I was in public school until third or fourth grade, and after that, I was homeschooled. I was homeschooled until I was 14, and then when I was 14, I began attending college. Mom was not playing about that education.

Aldis Hodge

My mom told us that we should have good shoes, a good suit, and a watch, so I was running around at age 10 looking like a little old man. But somehow I grew to understand that a watch is a representation of myself, of my culture, taste, awareness and aesthetic.

Aldis Hodge

Sometimes there's something that a writer doesn't see or a producer doesn't see when he's looking at a shot.

Aldis Hodge

You don't ever want to seem less than a person.

Aldis Hodge

Most people say they're slaves, but in my opinion, to say that I am a slave is to take ownership of actually being a slave - to be a tool, be a thing. Basically cattle.

Aldis Hodge

I'm not a starstuck dude. I've been in this game too long for that, but I do respect and acknowledge real work and real work ethic.
