austen britain jane love people totally
I'm totally in love with Jane Austen and have always been in love with Jane Austen. I did my dissertation at university on black people in eighteenth-century Britain - so I'd love to do a Jane Austen-esque film but with black people.
artist light people
As an artist, I am interested in telling stories that haven't been told before, stories that are going to affect people, and also stories that shine light on areas of history that haven't had light shined on them before.
thinking views people
I am always interested in affecting people in some way, making them think about particular areas of history that they have never thought about or that they may have thought about in one way and then changing their view.
brother thinking people
I'm afraid that what most people don't know about me is that I'm very close to my brother and sister, who are 16 and 13, and I think I'm a pretty good big sister to them.
people want reason
For some reason, I just lack that ability to be embarrassed about going up to people. I even do it for friends if they want to ask someone out.
thinking people skyfall
People are already describing it [Skyfall] as the best Bond flick ever, and I really think it will be.
play people black
I wanted to play roles which offered new ways of viewing black women and black people in general- and I have done that. And I have always, whether I needed to pay the rent or not, I've always turned down roles which I thought were stereotypical. And so when I look at my body of work in that respect, I am really happy. Because I feel my work does say something positive and that was what I always set out to do.
thinking people helping
I think there's nothing more amazing than helping people every day.
people culture debt
As a society we should be encouraging people out of the debt-culture mindset, not promoting it.
struggle thinking people
You don't want to just preach to people; you want to get them emotionally involved, and I think you do that with a wonderful human story about one person's struggle.
strong icons people
People have very strong opinions about how their national icons should be played.
ate became britain diet health ill lots obsessed raw stopped survive trying
Yes, I'm obsessed with health, which has been an interesting journey. I went down the raw-food diet route, but got ill. It was really hard, especially in Britain in winter, trying to survive on raw carrots. I became so ill and anemic, so I stopped that and became a vitamin junkie. I just ate lots of vegetables, exercised and breathed.
became british era helps history race relations society understand
The Windrush era is a very important part of British history as it helps us understand how and why we became the multicultural society we are today, and also helps us understand the history of race relations in this country.
