“No, I'm not super-smart and tech-savvy.”
“I grew up seeing so many stereotypes on TV, and I didn't want to play that as well.”
“We're all people, no matter what colour.”
“I want to do stuff like 'Lady Bird.' I want people to say, 'She told amazing stories.'”
“I don't need to be validated by anybody else; I don't need to be accepted or approved of for my happiness.”
“I started doing amateur theatre and played Rosa Parks at the age of 12 or 13. At 16, I decided it was what I wanted to do.”
“I love theater - it's where every actor should begin, the core of acting. But I feel that there's something about film that's captivating; it takes you to another , and you get to really be so connected with it.”
“I realised that acting is not my god.”
“My aim is just to remain as humble and as godly as I can be.”
“I just want to do something meaningful in the world. I want to contribute positively. That means the roles I get to play as well.”
“In my country where I was born, Guyana, we push more for education. It's more being a lawyer, doctor, teacher, or scientist.”
“I'm not trying to be famous, I'm not trying to be the next whatever. I'm just trying to be someone that contributes positivity with my talent.”
“My approach is the truth and aiming for the truth.”
“I gave my life to Christ, and I thought that would be it for me, and He was, like, 'No, you're not finished with acting; acting is not finished with you. This is your talent. Go back into it, but you're going back into it with a heart that's not obsessive over it.'”
“As soon as I was obedient to just taking a chance on God, all of these things that you're seeing - 'Black Panther' or 'Humans' or 'The Commuter' or Steven Spielberg - it came right after I took that break.”
“I have to also get into producing if I want to see these stories being made... Let's venture out and do projects with people of different ethnicities: not just black but also Asian actors and Asian superhero films. Just an equality across the board.”
“Where I go, where He takes me, that's where I need to spread the love of God. Because people's souls are dying. My soul was dying. And He saved me.”
“I fell in love with Jesus, and I'm still in love. Amen!”
“That's something I would love to do - play leading roles and really hold it on my own in those leading roles.”
“When I came to England, everybody was indoors all the time, and nobody said hello to each other. That was weird.”
