I do like sci-fi. When I was a kid, I was always sort of locked into sci-fi stories. So, sci-fi has always had a special place in my heart.

In England, theres no acknowledgement the invention of slavery came from Britain.

I was the classic middle child in some ways, the one who could have been a priest in an alternate universe.

I think Africa will have a crisper impact on Europe, as it has traditionally, and then that will filter into the American cultural psyche, in the way that India has.

I think a lot of acting is about the removal of self-consciousness. The actor is going to be in front of a lot of people, and will naturally feel self-conscious. So a lot of the preparation for that is the removal of that idea. Like you embody or are connected to this character, therefore you can present this character in a way that eventually, when you come back to see it, you feel not exactly ashamed of.

I think the crucial thing about being an actor is to be doing it.

Id never really considered film. If Id thought about film more growing up, I probably would have changed my name. I had no concept of my name in lights.
