Adam Beach Quotes

When I was growing up, my white friends would call me: ‘Hey, Chief!’ Even when I go to work now, people call me ‘Chief.’ Picture Quote #1

I remember, as a kid, I’d follow the rooster and the chickens and watch what type of grass they’d eat. And me and my friends would eat that grass, like that was our lunch Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I was just led out in the morning to go spend my day with my friends and just run in the woods. And I’d only come home to eat or when I was thirsty Picture Quote #1

I was in high school. A couple of my friends and I decided we had to be in a class together where we could fool around, and drama was it because we’d do improvs, beating each other up. They left a year later, and I stayed in and got a knack for it, and enjoyed the whole process Picture Quote #1

Acting has made me embrace my childhood. It’s become some weird form of therapy. It’s like I have a place where I can release all of these emotions. When I was playing Ira Hayes, I didn’t have to think about the death of my parents directly. It’s just there. I can blend it into Ira’s character. I can use Ira’s emotions as an outlet Picture Quote #1

Once you lose your parents, you get this numbness, this feeling of having to really be able to connect yourself with someone. I depended on my brothers for that connection, but to have that feeling of being taken care of... I lost it when my parents passed away Picture Quote #1

When I was sixteen I started acting, and I also started to embrace my tradition and culture. I had a young medicine man interpret for me what it is to be an Indian. He really caught me at a good time because I was really vulnerable after the loss of my parents with all of the feelings of abandonment Picture Quote #1

You can’t propel a nation to move forward if all you are doing is taking something from them Picture Quote #1

I always believed in if you give your best, people will see it, and it moves to the next level. I got my first movie, and I gave it my best. Before I was done with that movie, I was offered my first feature film Picture Quote #1

I’m not gonna fall. I’m tired of falling. I’m tired of seeing our people fall. I don’t believe in failure. It’s what we put in our minds and our hearts to succeed. And success isn’t about money. Success isn’t about the biggest house in the world. Success is about loving your family, taking care of your child Picture Quote #1
