My mum believes in me almost more than I believe in myself.
incredibly
I'm incredibly impatient; I'd like to be less so, and more content with the now.
bit wear
I would never wear anything too revealing. I'm not a fan of dresses where you look nude... I think that looks a bit desperate.
I was too much of an innocent when I went to university.
brought
I was brought up in Britain, and I'm very proud of my Britishness and my culture.
believe god religion
I still pray a lot. I still believe in God. I just don't believe in any set religion.
love
I love doing a film with a new bunch of people.
running brother team
I was really nervous, because I was certain it was going to be bigger than anything I'd ever done before [Skyfall]. But I was relieved when I actually discovered that there was a family atmosphere on the set, with a brother-sister team, Barbara [Broccoli] and Michael [Wilson] running it all.
mom real reading
Mom's a writer, so I grew up reading scripts and I have a real respect for them and I know how much thought goes into creating a role, so I'm always interested to find out what was the thought process of the writer and how best can I convey it rather than trying to change it to suit myself.
roots pie add
[I like to cook] Shepherd's pie, which is a classic British dish. But my version reflects my Jamaican roots, because I add jerk to it as well.
dream children
Without education, you really can't dream as a child.
jobs doors careers
Education opens the door to everything in terms of having a career and an impact on society and not being a slave to your job, really.
real economic-inequality aspect
One of the saddest aspects for me about filming in South Africa was that the real inequalities are still very much in place - and those are economic inequalities.
actors want stuff
I never make suggestions. I really don't. I know a lot of actors who get a part and then they dissect it and they want to change it and they want to add stuff. I'm always amazed and so impressed by actors who do that.
