kids naughty phases
Kids should be naughty and go through that rebellious phase I didn't have.
boss advice honest
Be open and honest, but perceptive to your boss's situation. That's my advice to graduates worried about working with a new boss.
grateful kind really-amazing
To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
play people black
I wanted to play roles which offered new ways of viewing black women and black people in general- and I have done that. And I have always, whether I needed to pay the rent or not, I've always turned down roles which I thought were stereotypical. And so when I look at my body of work in that respect, I am really happy. Because I feel my work does say something positive and that was what I always set out to do.
nice flower kissing
I cry at random things, like a flower, or someone giving me a present, or my sister giving me a nice hug.
actresses calling tough
I would say only be an actress if you genuinely feel the calling, because it's a tough profession.
roots pie add
[I like to cook] Shepherd's pie, which is a classic British dish. But my version reflects my Jamaican roots, because I add jerk to it as well.
directors fantastic
I love Sam Mendes. He's a fantastic director.
fun character heart
What interests Sam Mendes are characters and relationships, and he was a genius at giving you the freedom to create the type of character you want, and also to explore and have fun with your fellow actors. For him, characters and relationships are really the heartbeat of the film, and then the action is the backdrop. By developing the characters, he makes you care that much more about the action and going on a journey with the characters.
designer british mario
I really like Roland Moret, Alexander McQueen and Marios Schwab, a young British designer.
memories men hands
I don't remember my childhood very well at all, but my earliest memory is holding a man's hand as I was walking down the street at about 1ВЅ. I can still remember the shoes I was wearing, but I don't know who the man was or what the memory relates to.
achieve certain worthy
When I started out in the profession, it was definitely about proving that I was worthy, but after achieving a certain amount of success, I realized I didn't have to prove anything to anybody.
actors want stuff
I never make suggestions. I really don't. I know a lot of actors who get a part and then they dissect it and they want to change it and they want to add stuff. I'm always amazed and so impressed by actors who do that.
powerful believe messages
I'm always interested in telling stories that have a message because I really do believe that film is so powerful.
