I Don't Have A Tailor, But I

I Think What A Lot Of People Don't Realize Is How Much Being The Leader Of This Movement Weighed Upon Him. After All, He [dr. Martin Luter King] Was Only 39 Years-old When He Was Assassinated, And Only 36 During The Selma Campaign. He Always Seemed Older Than He Actually Was, And I Believe Part Of That Had To Do With Just How Much Life He Had To Live In Order To Lead This Movement.

Getting To Do What I Think Was My Fifth Bbc Drama With Nikki Amuka-bird - We've Done 'shoot The Messenger,' 'five Days,' 'the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency,' 'born Equal' And Now 'small Island' - Was Another Highlight For Me. And Filming In Jamaica Was Great, Too.

Dr. Martin Luther King Was Never A Man To Say 'i've Got This' As The Leader Of The Movement. He Wasn't Always Sure That His Decisions Were Correct, Because He Knew Every Decision He Made Was Putting Lives At Risk, Including His And His Family's Lives.

I Certainly Don't Feel There's A Distinction To Be Made Between A Television And A Film Actor. I Think There's A Distinction Between Great Actors And Not So Great Actors. But I Really Think If You Watch A Person Working In Television Give A Wonderful Performance, That Person Is F - Ing Great, Because There Is No Time.

I Seem To Be Able To Disassociate My Insecurities. I Know A Lot Of Actors - Some Of The Best Actors In The World - Can't Bear To Watch Themselves And I Have To Say I Can't Relate To That.
