I love being uncomfortable. I love feeling very revealed. And when I watch a piece of work that I've done, I'm actually looking for that. How naked is this character? How truthful is this character? If it's truthful, there's automatically a separation.

We now have the Black Lives Matter movement. I find that curious because this country is not quite the melting pot it's purported to be. Black lives are unknown in some pla'ces.

Jonathan Majors

In sci-fi, the Black guys always die. So, it's extremely important to bring African-American characters to the genre and not have them killed.

Jonathan Majors

So I feel now very much like a guardian. I'm standing in front of art. I'm standing in front of cinema. I'm standing in front of Black culture. I'm standing in front of the history of America, and I'm protecting it by making art, by protecting our art, and by promoting our art.

Because when you're in drama school, you're playing multiple characters at once. You know, in the morning you're doing a Chekhov play, and then you're doing a Shakespeare workshop midday.

Growth is uncomfortable; you have to embrace the discomfort if you want to expand.

Jonathan Majors

My intention was always to share my experience and my gifts on the largest stage possible.

Jonathan Majors

I spent some time in juvenile detention, and as far as owning space, I may have owned too much space as a young boy, and it got me in trouble. But through that, I found some unity. I found acting, and that's become a place to exercise that.

Jonathan Majors

Sometimes the world didn't feel fair enough. Everything feels fair on the stage.

The thing about terror and why it's so interesting is that terror is there to keep us safe. But then the issue comes in: Well, how do you ever grow if you can't get past this fear? That's called suppression.

Jonathan Majors

You have to be as smart as you can be, not smarter. You don't need to be smarter than you are.

I grew up in the Dallas Metroplex. But I spent a lot of time in Waco and then in small towns down there with my grandma and then in Killeen and in Riesel.

Jonathan Majors

And if you think this young boy, from Dallas, Texas, is adding to the canon of theater arts, of performing arts, of cinema, well I'm humbled and I'm very excited.

Jonathan Majors

Eight years of steady acting training nonstop... three years in the profession. And I'm still in the apprentice mode and I'm still watching everybody and learning.

Jonathan Majors

We talk about America as a melting pot, where you can't turn salt into pepper. Then you got too much pepper. You need the salt. You need the paprika. You need the broth.

Jonathan Majors

I use the transition of the airport, the flying from one place to another to really let go of the -isms, and the ideas that I have as an individual and kind of adapt and begin to morph.

Jonathan Majors

My first kiss was fourth grade, girl named Krista West. We're walking out to the black top, and I throw my arm around her. I kiss her on the cheek.

Jonathan Majors

I try to do my best to differentiate each fella, each spirit, from the next one... and once it's exorcised it doesn't just go away. It becomes a part of you. So every role becomes a part of you.

Jonathan Majors

There comes a point in everybody's life where you either learn to handle things or you get handled.

Jonathan Majors

I had so much joy as a boy: middle child, lots of energy, big emotional life. I was a clown and still am.

Jonathan Majors

That's the beauty of being an actor. You're kind of a journeyman.
