On his character on Pose: “My character has a lot of unrest and doesn’t feel very good about where he’s at. How did he get here? And to what end? It’s this life that you’re supposed to want, but is it really true to you? The whole show is about being authentic. I’ve got this thing inside of me that’s been there a long time…My character does.”
On working with Michael Fassbender in X-Men: “I look up to him. I love his career… In that scene in decaying Cairo [during X-Men: Apocalypse], there is rubble and explosions everywhere. He comes and saves us. We’re all messed up. Apocalypse has us at his mercy. [Michael] did a take, very serious, with the gravitas of Magneto. And then we cut and he says, ‘Guys, you can go. I don’t really need you here.’ He’s such a pro.”
On feeling trapped as an actor: “As an actor, you’re supposed to take this route, do all the right roles and climb that ladder in a weird way. It can make you feel like you’re trapped.”
