“I learnt what I am not good at: listening, staying focused, turning up on time, following orders... I realised that I was going to have to pull off something special, something different.”

“I want to help people struggling with whatever it is they're going through.”

“Black is confusing. Where does the line start and stop with what is black and what isn't black? People that are mixed-race, or, imagine being from Sri Lanka or Bangladesh, people might say you're black but your features are so non-black, like you've got straight hair, you've got like a sharper nose, or such.”

“The biggest lesson that I've learnt is that things can change so quickly, never get used to one thing because everything can flip on it's head.”
