Zitat des Tages von Corey Hawkins:
I'm not going to lie to you: I'd prefer not to go to the gym and not to run.
Sometimes, as actors, we feel like we want to hold on and control where a character goes.
The only pressure, as an actor, is to step into Eric Carter's shoes and make him as fully and as complex and as flawed and as human as I could.
What everyone loved about '24' is still there - the clock, the tick, the lean-in factor, the pacing.
The rules of engagement are totally different when you're on the homefront.
The tension between the Capulets and the Montagues is like a gang rivalry, and that has everything to do with Compton.
We are a diverse people, man.
I like doing things that people wouldn't necessarily think I can do.
The challenge is making sure that every single moment is honest, no matter what. It's doing Eric Carter justice. Not trying to fill Jack Bauer's shoes. Not trying to step into Kiefer's legacy.
So you want to take the risk, and you want to step out there; you do it because that's what we have to do as actors. And sometimes in TV, it becomes big, and it becomes about the entertainment, but also, we have to focus in on the work.
I knew I wanted to be an artist early on, but I decided to seriously pursue the profession when I auditioned for Juilliard.
When it comes to the awards and everything, and the press, the publicity, this is all icing on the cake to me.
I grew up in D.C.
I like to surprise myself. I like to surprise my fans, too.
I know the struggle - trust me. I know how hard it is for us to say 'no' to a lot of things that get offered.
I have members of my family who are in the military. I have friends who are in the military. Classmates who served in the military.
The idea of a new hero for a new day sang to me.
It can't be all serious at all times.
I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.
I like being the underdog.
I remember 'The Cosby Show,' but that was something completely different. Comedy. There was a lightness to it and a sort of unrealistic perfection.
Nothing's out of the realm. I think '24' has always keyed into that.
There's no wrong choice because, whatever you choose, that's meant for you.
I feel immensely blessed - not just that I'm working, but that I'm working on projects that I really care about and like. I've always been that way.
Even before I was working off-Broadway, there were lots of different TV shows that I would actually say 'no' to, and my agents would be like, 'Are you crazy?' but they stuck with me because they know the kind of things that excite me.
I live in New York.
