We all act differently in certain places. We don’t want to admit it, but we’re different where we grew up than we are with our family and than we are with the guys that we went to college with or our fraternity brothers. People just exist differently. It’s small, subtle things, but different colors come out. That’s all there is to it. Mike Colter Read Quote
My family, they’re not really that involved in what I do. Career-wise, they’re very supportive. They’re involved after the fact. I don’t tell them anything, usually, until I’m finished filming it or mid-way through filming it. It’s just a job, and I approach it that way. Mike Colter Read Quote

When I was playing Bishop, I would always walk on set thinking, ‘This is my show; this is a show all about me.’ Mike Colter Read Quote

A lot of times in life, women want to talk, but men don’t want to listen, and if they do want to listen, they turn it back to themselves. Mike Colter Read Quote
As long as you can throw people a curveball, that’s what you’re looking for. Because the minute they can define you, the minute they think they know exactly who you are, is when it starts to wear thin. Mike Colter Read Quote
