I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement.

I'll always be attached to telly in one way or another, whether it's a character or producer or director, I just love the medium.

When I look at my body of work, I've played a lot of characters who are morally conflicted - 'I'm right, no I'm wrong, I don't know what to do!' I want to play more characters who don't care as much, and who aren't as measured. They are what they are, no apologies.

I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.

Because I was big, I didn't have to listen to anyone doubting me. I was just considered good at football or whatever, there were no questions about it.

I think 'The Wire' really is relatable. It reflects an ongoing issue across America, about inaccuracies in major cities between rich and the poor and some of the things that go on behind the red tape of council and government bodies.
