| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Who wouldn't want to be in 'Star Wars?' It'd be great. |
| 2 | I watched season four of 'The Wire.' They have subtle performances that they do through their eyes. You could watch season four with the audio off and still understand what's happening through their eyes. |
| 3 | 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. |
| 4 | You know, we all can do bad, and we all can do good. |
| 5 | You know, urban culture is fun; it's lovely. |
| 6 | Normally you hear about Southeast London, and you hear about all the stuff that goes on down there, all the negative things, and the tabloids kind of stay away from all the positive things that happen that I see every day, which kind of outshines the negative. |
| 7 | I've been acting since I was 5 years old, from primary school to secondary school, did training at drama school, which was the big thing for me because they trained me, put me out into the industry. |
| 8 | 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. |
| 9 | In the States, you have a little bit of freedom to audition for different kinds of roles. |
| 10 | My biggest challenge is to not do urban movies for the rest of my life, those alpha hoodies. |
| 11 | I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting. |
| 12 | 'Junkhearts' is a great story. |
| 13 | In this life, it's not hard to do wrong. |
| 14 | Portray the world for what it is, and you will find truth. |
| 15 | The 'block' in 'Attack the Block' is not just a physical thing. It's people; it's families. |
| 16 | There's a difference between living somewhere and being part of somewhere. |
| 17 | The scripts that I've been getting are of epic proportion. People want me to lead the big armies. |
| 18 | There is a level of appreciation for brothers and sisters in the hood. |
| 19 | I've been getting diverse roles. |
| 20 | I love London. I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. |
| 21 | I'm a comic reader and a manga fan. |
| 22 | I'd like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character. |
| 23 | I'm a Michael Bay fanatic. |
| 24 | I like my women very green; you know, eco-friendly. |
| 25 | Being robbed hurts - not physically, but from what it does to your pride. |
| 26 | Hollywood has given me a great, warm hug. |
| 27 | I know my movies. I love my movies. |
| 28 | Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around. |
| 29 | Acting careers don't come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all. |
| 30 | 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. |
| 31 | 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. |
| 32 | I remember my manager telling me, 'Be myself, be humble, keep rooted, keep God first'. Those words were very helpful. |
| 33 | 'Attack The Block' is an alien invasion film set in South London. It's about a group of kids who are some petty thugs, who have to find the hero in themselves, when they attack. |
| # | Fact |
