“You read things, and they come to you, and if they speak to you at the...” — Corey Hawkins Quote

You read things, and they come to you, and if they speak to you at the moment and there's a voice in you that says, 'I don't know, that's risky,' or 'That's challenging,' then do it. Run at it and tackle it. And if it's bad, it's bad. You're gonna get over it.

I like being a chameleon and doing things that are just so different that people will be like, 'Oh, that's him?'

I'm so OCD about prep work and learning lines and stuff.

I have the most utmost respect for the men and women overseas, and I only played a soldier on television. Again, I can only imagine the sacrifices that they make every single day.

When Mahesh is not around for weeks together, I have to take care of everything - kids, home. But the fact that I am able to survive and not feel alone is very challenging. It's about a healthy companionship and being true to each other.

I like to play people that are real, a real person, and then something that's interesting with that person. I think it's a lot more challenging to do that than something that's extremely fantasy-like.

I always want to be taking big swings. I want to keep making things that are entertaining and challenging at the same time.

I love a challenge, and I love challenging people's preconceptions.
