In this life, it's not hard to do wrong.
audition bit freedom kinds
In the States, you have a little bit of freedom to audition for different kinds of roles.
confident grounded man
I'm grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. A confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man. I'm proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me.
All the films I've done have had a secret commentary on stereotypical mentalities.
hard-work blessing awards
Guys, I haven't been doing this for a long time, it's a fluke! I'm gonna share this BAFTA award with all the young dreamers who are determined, who are hard working, who are quite frankly amazing. This is also for you. Blessings for your path and God bless.
goes-on earth legacy
Not everybody has that mentality and that's fine, but once Robert Redford leaves this earth - later rather than sooner - his legacy will go on.
thinking thank-god way
I think what Robert Redford established is amazing; thank god for Robert Redford. He's set an amazing example with Sundance and I hope to follow that in my own way.

It's amazing that people still feel, 'Oh my gosh, it's a black guy.' We've been here for a long time; let's get used to it. Let's get used to other cultures.

Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.

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

I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. I love being from there, you don't appreciate it until you go out.
dad stories noahs-ark
My dad's a Pentecostal minister, meaning that he's full of charisma. If he's telling a story about Noah's ark, you best know each tiger is going to be having their own little conversation and narrative.
