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.
Chiwetel EjioforI've always enjoyed doing a huge variety of roles, which I think helps, instead of settling for the things I might be most comfortable with.
Chiwetel EjioforMy father, Arinze Ejiofor , was a musician and a doctor. Nobody's ever asked me about that combination and what growing up in that environment was like.
Chiwetel EjioforI like finding things out beforehand, because I'm nervous in disposition, and I worry that if I don't do anything, then I'll turn up and I still won't really have a sense of it, and it might be too late. So I like to get things as organized as I possibly can in my own head, to apply myself to the work before arriving to a late-in-the-day rehearsal, or in extreme cases, the first day on set.
