More From Boris Kodjoe

Everything that comes together falls apart. everything. the chair i’m sitting on. it was built, and so it will fall apart. i’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. and you’re gonna fall apart. the cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. the buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: entropy increases. things fall apart.

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

You work with every actor differently. it's like if you're a mother, if you have children, some children need more discipline. other children you back off of a little bit and let them be. it's the same way with actors. some actors need a lot of hand holding. other actors like to be let be and you let them go. some actors like to be nudged just a little bit. some actors don't mind line readings.

The actor has to have some degree of craft, along with the talent. no one tries to laugh except bad actors. no one tries to cry except bad actors. how a character hides his feelings tells us who he is. most people don't know that, and most actors don't do that. therefore, there are a lot of actors who put me to sleep, that are considered good actors, but they're predictable and boring. i know how the scene is going to end before it ends.
Character Sleep Laughing
I think casting is really important. finding the right sensibility for the right part is an art in itself. if you're off there, you make it harder on yourself as a director. and it's fun to work that out with the actors. i don't think there's any magic to directing actors. it's very instinctual. working with actors is really one of my favorite creative moments of the whole process, and the most fun, because it's collaborative. i spend a lot of time rehearsing. i'm very rehearsal-oriented, probably because i have some background in theater. i like knowing what will work beforehand.

I’ve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that ‘actors are great liars.’ if more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be ‘actors are terrible liars,’ because only bad actors lie on the job. the good ones hate fakery and avoid manufactured emotion at all costs. any script is enough of a lie anyway. (what experience does any actor have with flying a spacecraft? killing someone?) what’s called for, what actors are hired for, is to bring reality to the arbitrary.

Obviously, it wasn't meant for me to die of cancer at 40. every day my life surprises me, just like my cancer diagnosis surprised me. but you roll with it. that's our job as humans.

When we consider a project, we really study it-not just the surface idea, but everything about it. and when we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. we have confidence in our ability to do it right. and we work hard to do the best possible job.
