I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
I think once you're a mother to one, you're a mother to them all.
I can't act without music very well.
When you've been raised in care, rap music isn't just about guns and sexism. They're talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It's not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that.
