[ Chadwick Boseman] was not a baseball player. He spent, I don't know, countless hours, many months, working two sessions a day with professional pro coaches to develop the baseball skills that he needed.

It doesn't matter to me whether I go back to outer space or not [while acting]. The job's the same and I don't have any sort of genre preferences. I'm looking for a good story and a good character, whether earthbound or not.

When I first started out, I was a bad actor.

The kindest word to describe my performance in school was Sloth.

Acting is not about competing. Acting is about cooperating. Acting is about collaboration. It's about your utility, your usefulness, your capacity to add to the work that has already been done and will be done. You're just part of a team. I never feel competitive about acting.

I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.

I played maybe one and a half games of Little League. The whole atmosphere of anxious parents and more anxious children was just too much for me.
