The 'block' in 'Attack the Block' is not just a physical thing. It's people; it's families.
defies goes great people
It's always great to play a character that goes against the grain. Finn defies what people think when they think of stormtroopers.
hard-work blessing awards
Guys, I haven't been doing this for a long time, it's a fluke! I'm gonna share this BAFTA award with all the young dreamers who are determined, who are hard working, who are quite frankly amazing. This is also for you. Blessings for your path and God bless.
goes-on earth legacy
Not everybody has that mentality and that's fine, but once Robert Redford leaves this earth - later rather than sooner - his legacy will go on.

I think what Robert Redford established is amazing; thank god for Robert Redford. He's set an amazing example with Sundance and I hope to follow that in my own way.

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.

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.

Acting careers dont come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all.

I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. I love being from there, you don't appreciate it until you go out.

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.

I like my women very green; you know, eco-friendly.
theatre acting lessons
Ive had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

Every time I go out in London, I'm not always with my guys. I have three female friends that I'll go out with all the time. I'm the only guy there.
