Quotes from Boyd Holbrook

I'm country to the bone.

I think Jack White is pretty dope. He's a little bit more crisp than me in his approach; he's always in a suit; he's always sharp. He's always cleaned up.

I've always wrote off the demographic of superhero films because it's just not really something I can relate to.

I've never read a comic book in my life.

Skinny jeans and an extra big t-shirt. Ugh, I cannot stand that. It looks like an idiot: it's just proportionately wrong. And the super, super, super, super, super, super, super skinny jeans. I don't think you can get anything done when you're wearing clothes that tight.

I have this image of myself as kinda like the Energizer Bunny. I get knocked down, and I pop right back up.

Love is the prize in life.

To go to work every day for two years, that was life changing.

I wrote a lot. I was in programs for drawing when I was a kid.

I think Netflix is incredible! I travel a lot, so it keeps me company sometimes. I like 'Peaky Blinders.' I'm a big fan of Cillian Murphy, and he is quite the actor. I watch documentaries, mainly, but I've really gotten into watching scary movies. 'It Follows' is wicked.

Sean Penn, for his acting as well as his writing and directing. There are so many actors I respect, but his reach is so wide.

I saw an amazing film when I was 16 called 'Slam'. It's about a spoken-word poet. Saul Williams is in it.

There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut - it was so bad. I didn't even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn't even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate.

It's taken me a long time to get work, so that's why I like to play really different characters that are really foreign to me. I want it to be something great, and I want to have a great experience.

I love hats. I love vests. I do like to look sharp.

I collect hats, and I'm really big into Stetsons. Not particularly the Stetsons brand but that sort of fedora-type. I just think it's sharp.
