Jason Mitchell Quotations

I was the epitome of rags to riches.

I hate to see him losing like this, but it's a matter of a team coming together and seeing what I'm seeing and knowing what I know about Coach Massey.

Growing up in New Orleans and just being in a poverty-stricken neighborhood gave me that same fire that Eazy had to separate himself from what could have ended up being such a bad situation.

Growing up in New Orleans helped me live a real life. I experienced so many things.

I eat a lot. I'm a big sandwich dude. Turkey, mayonnaise, mustard, cheese, yes. I love craft services.

I already have two movies in the can, low-key, which are 'Vincent-N-Roxxy' and 'Keanu' with Key and Peele, which is my first comedy, and it's going to be super dope, definitely funny. They're so great, and they've been such life coaches to me.

He didn't know exactly where, but he said eventually he would be at a college and he would be looking for me to possibly come play for him, ... I wasn't getting along too well with the program over there at A&T, so I was looking for somewhere to go anyway.

Tiger Stadium is another level. Our fans are great. Our fans are very supportive, but down there they're wild. They get up for football regardless of who they're playing, regardless of what time it is, but especially at night. They stay up all day to prepare for kickoff. They're probably the loudest. They're probably as loud in pregame as they're going to be in the fourth quarter. They just love their football down there.

I was born and raised in Louisiana, but going to Tennessee gave me a chance to do something different. I didn't want to be hanging out with the same friends every day, every day. I wanted to learn how to do stuff on my own.

I've been wanting this game for a long time. The older I got, the more I became an LSU fan.

You can't be Eazy-E and not move a certain way, basically. So, I studied the culture of it, and also, one of my uncles is from L.A., and he's great. He was like my performance coach. He helped me get the lingo down pat. He helped me get a lot of things down pat because I would talk in that accent for 10 hours a day.

Even if the hurricane wouldn't have come, ... I think this would still be a very emotional game for them because whenever a top-10 team comes into Tiger Stadium, it gets ridiculous.

We had some decision making issues tonight, ... but we'll work on it.

'Straight Outta Compton' is not a story we didn't know about or anything like that, but it's just something that resonated really well... It had no choice but to explode.

All of my friends play football and I've known Brad since we were in second grade. I'm always down at his house. He knows I'm going to be open, and he trusts me to catch the ball. He's not worried that I'm going to drop the ball when I get hit.

They were just more physical tonight than we were. We ran our plays, but they just kept coming at us and it made us get out of our comfort zone.

I'm very acrobatic. I can do backflips and all that crazy stuff.

I lived the street life for a minute; I lost a lot of friends.

I'm from a very violent city. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, and it's good to see me be able to express my art, have a good opportunity for my life, make history and say something, without being violent.

I met Leonardo DiCaprio and Busta Rhymes the same night, on my birthday in New York.

If you get it right, it's the most grand thing you could ever do. So many people let biopics slip through their fingers, but the opportunity to play Eazy-E could change my life.

I've had to jump over fences in baseball and defenders in football. I've always been pretty good at catching a ball.

In the past, when gas got real high, it helped us, ... People can't justify owning their own boat or driving from a long ways and hoping they catch fish.

In the second half we spread the field out more and realized we could throw the ball. In the first half we were trying to run first and then pass, but that just wasn't working.

I really don't notice it that much. Football games are awesome, but when I'm on the mound I have to concentrate on the batter. I try to use that in football, too.

I didn't know how capable I was until the people around me in acting school would say I was good.

Anybody who knows me knows that I'm just here to put a smile on people's faces.

This is my only violation ever, but I screwed up.

This is our last home meet, and we wanted to go out with a bang. It felt great to hear the home crowd cheering one last time.

It's a good feeling now, ... But when it was happening, I was down and out. I was mad because I know I was in on third down. I crossed the pylon. If you cross the pylon, it means you score, right?

I auditioned for 'Pitch Perfect,' and I had to sing. It was terrible.
