“I want to not settle for one thing. Because I come from a place where I have nothing to lose.”

“I want to get a wolf and an eagle.”

“Getting involved with 'Black 47' was like getting involved with 'Dunkirk' for me. I learned a lot. But 'Black 47' was my own history from my own country.”

“I hope I inspire younger ones. Whatever you're into - sports, whatever - just go and do something.”

“Sometimes a camera comes out and people freeze up a little, and I'm like that with normal cameras, but with a film camera, I feel different.”

“I do reach out to lads that I know who are my age: people like Charlie Plummer or Timothee Chalamet.”

“I just think the more you're in front of camera, the better: my main aim is just to tell the truth, be natural, and believe in what I'm doing, and hopefully that comes across as a rawness.”

“Boxing isn't a career. Acting is it for me. But they're both very therapeutic.”

“I want a happy family.”

“I recently was in the same room as Leonardo DiCaprio, and one of my favorite movies is 'Basketball Diaries.' That movie hits home for me in so many ways, and in that moment, I was like, 'I have to thank this dude.' So I did.”

“I always believed that I could be one of the greatest actors of my generation.”

“I started getting interested in the craft and watching old movies, and they're the ones that reach out to me the most - films like 'Cool Hand Luke' and 'On the Waterfront.' So I start watching all of these, and I was getting educated, and I started being interested in this acting thing, if that's what they call it.”

“I've stayed friends with the boys I've known since I was 10.”

“My mother passed. She passed when I was 10 or 11.”

“I'm always wanting to do the impossible.”

“My nanny took me in at 12 with my brother, who is a year younger than me. We're the closest brothers you'll ever meet.”

“Anyone dying is not easy, but certainly not a mother. Me and my brother, we stuck together. The foster families were good to me, and then my nanny took me in.”

“I want stories where you either hate it or love it. I want to do movies like that, where it's not show and tell, where it's not, 'This is it, and now you reveal the ending, and that's that.'”

“People can get lost in the movie star world. They can't check in with reality, whereas I live at home with me girl, surrounded by real people.”

“I wasn't stupid, or very smart. I didn't finish my education.”
