I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. I love being from there, you don't appreciate it until you go out.

Acting careers dont come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all.

My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.

I want to see more people of different backgrounds being cast in films. I want to see people from inner cities being discovered, because that's where you find some really brilliant artists.

Hollywood is so fixated on keeping it that way because it's generating the buzz, but that representation isn't right. I definitely feel like it's getting better - it's not only for blacks, but for people that are of all different skin colors. It is very important that black independent films get seen. We need to start getting used to black people. They exist. And they've been around for a long time. It's amazing that people still feel, "Oh my gosh, it's a black guy."

Id like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character.

People watch me when I get into these characters that I have in my head, so perhaps I should try acting. So I did.
