I read a lot of W.E.B. Du Bois, who wrote 'The Souls of Black Folk.'
From Andre Holland
I've lost friends over texting because I'm so bad at it.
A lot of people in the movie business don't have a point of reference for me; nobody really knows who I am.
Whenever I have a play or opening or anything going on in my career, my parents always come up and see it.
When you live in an environment where you aren't allowed to be fully who you are, you aren't taken seriously, and you aren't respected. What that actually does to a person's confidence and psyche is really fascinating to me.
I think that's what makes characters interesting - when you paint a person into a corner, and you see what they do to get out of that corner. It's what makes drama drama.
When I was in school, and even after, I did a lot of classic plays, and I guess it sort of extended into film.
I've written a couple of scripts. Actually, a pilot. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say, but it's a comedy about three young men in New York City, one of whom may or may not be a romantic like me.
I'm the old-school, letter-writing romantic. I know it's out of style, and not a lot of women go for that these days, but that's what I go for.
I think that a man should not be shy; you should say what you really think and feel - put it out there.
