I'm One Of Those Actors Who Says,

I Know I Had My Equivalents In Adrian Lester And Lenny James When I Was At Drama School. I Remember David Harewood Doing 'othello' At The National, And Adrian Lester Having Done Cheek By Jowl's Famous 'as You Like It And Company' At The Donmar. Not Necessarily Performances I Saw, But Just The Fact They Happened Was Massively Encouraging.

There Is Still A Fundamental Misunderstanding, When It Comes To Observing That When Someone Is Black And Someone Is White, Then That Difference Is Enough To Warrant The Idea That They Shouldn't Be Together. We Are So Much More Alike In Nature Than We Are Different, And My Ambition With The Roles I Choose To Do Is To Break Down That Prejudice, By Showing How Much I - As A Man - Am Just A Man.

Find The Audience, Be Excellent, And You Will Be Fine.

Africa Is Trying To Find Its Way Back To A Sense Of Itself, When Much Of That Was Lost Through Colonization.

Excellence Is The Best Weapon Against Prejudice.
