The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Chadwick Boseman

  • The only difference between a hero and the villain is that the villain chooses to use that power in a way that is selfish and hurts other people.
  • People don’t want to experience change; they just want to wake up, and it’s different.
  • When you play characters, you shouldn’t just be putting on their characteristics – you should be finding it inside yourself.
  • There’s nothing more stressful than your stomach growling. But interestingly enough, some of my best writing came when I was poor and hungry – living off water and oatmeal, mind clear.
  • I remember my first agent telling me – because they found me as an actor, but I was probably more interested in writing and maybe directing – they were like, ‘Well, you can’t do both things.’ And I was like, ‘I’m gonna show you.’
  • I’m from Anderson, S.C., but I grew up in the South. So I know what it is to ride to school and have Confederate flags flying from trucks in front of me and behind me, to see a parking lot full of people with Confederate flags and know what that means. I’ve been stopped by police for no reason.
  • Sometimes when you’re acting, you only need a little bit of something to sort of channel or, you know, transport into a place.
  • In television you don’t have a lot of time to spend with the role or the script. Typically you get a script a week prior to shooting. Sometimes it’s even less time, not enough time to dream about the role.
  • People have said, ‘You don’t need to do any more biopics. You don’t need to play any more real people.’ I don’t agree with that.
  • Every year, Hollywood is looking for that new, white leading man and new white starlet that audiences fall in love with. But they’re not looking for the next Denzel Washington, Will Smith or Sidney Poitier.
