I Use The Film Industry As A

I've Been Fortunate Not To Have Been Pigeonholed By Virtue Of Being Mixed-race, Of Being English And Black, And By Virtue Of Working All Over The World. I've Enjoyed A Great Degree Of Variety In The Work That I've Done. It's Been Quite Unique.

~i've Learned The Value Of Absorbing The Moment. I Remember The First Time Ripley Saw Her Shadow. My God, It Was Like Shadows Had Just Been Invented. It Was The Most Exquisite Moment.~

I Don't Put The Pressure On Myself To Be A Very Successful Movie Star. I Want To Enjoy Being An Actor And I Want To Be Challenged By The Roles I Take.

The Reality Is That Who You Are Is Who You Are Right This Second, Not Who You Were At Any Moment In The Past Because It Doesn't Exist Anymore. It's Done. It's Over.

I See A Wiser Person Than When I Was Younger: Having Babies, And Passing 30, Were The Turning Points. What Women In Their 40s - I Am 39 - Lack In Gorgeousness, They Make Up For In Wisdom. I Love Ageing, Despite The Drawbacks - Thinner, Drier Skin.
