I Like To Think Of Myself As

When You Reflect Upon The Significance Of Dr. King To This Nation, It's Criminal That He Hasn't Had A Feature Film That Was Centered Around Him Until Now. That, In And Of Itself, Was Emotional. But When You're Doing Scenes On The Edmund Pettus Bridge, With People Still Living In Selma And Now In Their 60s And 70s Who Had Actually Marched, Who Were There That Original Bloody Sunday, That's Humbling... That's Deeply Moving. You're No Longer Acting At That Stage, You're Just Reacting, Because It Takes The Filmmaking Process To Another Dimension.

If You Merely Focus On What We Already Know, Then It's Not Revelatory. You May As Well Just Go And Watch A Documentary Or A Few Videos On Youtube, And You're Good.

I Love That As A Black Person I've Experienced Not Being A Minority. I Think That's Helped Me To Combat The Minority Mentality People Can Have Here, Which Can Stop Them Scaling The Heights.

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.

There Are Many, Many Communities, Many Ethnic Minorities, Many Civilizations That Have Been Brutalised By Others And You Have To Move On. You Cannot Perpetually Stay In That Place Of Blame, Otherwise It's Just A Downward Spiral.
