We Can't Afford To Deny Our Past

I Was Sometimes Called 'coconut' When I Was At School.

I Gravitate Towards Anything That Feels Challenging To Me, That Feels Like It's Gonna Be Saying Something A Bit Different And New To The Audience, And Anything That Moves Me. I Do Movies That I Would Want To See, So I Don't Necessarily Gravitate Towards Any Genre In Particular. I Just Try And Do The Best Work I Can And Also Try To Keep The Audience Guessing.

My Ambition Is To Keep The Audience Guessing... That Is My Path To A Long Career.

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 Think Until Britain Acknowledges Just How Much Of A Presence Black People Had Here Before The Sixties, Then There Are Certain Stories That Are Not Going To Be Inclusive Of What I Have To Offer.
