In What I Do For A Living,

Considering How Pervasive Interracial Marriage Is, Certainly In American Society, It Is Rare We Get To See It Depicted On Film.

I Would Make The Tea On A Daniel Day-lewis Set Just To Observe How He Crafts Roles Like He Did In 'my Left Foot.' That Was The Equivalent Of Seeing Haley's Comet For Me. I Just Couldn't Understand How That Was Possible.

I'm Very Aware Of How Much Movies, Literature And Art Affect Culture. They Are A Reflection Of The World Around Us And They Are Also A Means By Which We Engage With The World Around Us.

I Think That Having A Black President In This Country Has Been A Seismic Shift, In Terms Of What Has Been Going On Racially In America. I Think That America Is Now Engaging With How We Have Come To This Point.

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.
