weekend winning thinking
I think that with piracy and tighter funds being around, people are realising that the game to play is to try and win people's respect with bold film making and then win a special place in people's collections, rather than just having the biggest opening weekends.
rap inspiration stuff
I go to a lot of stand-up comedy. I find more inspiration from observational stuff than from rap.
up-to-you bandwagon our-lives
Bandwagons roll through our lives. Its up to you whether you jump on them unquestioningly or jump on them to overturn them and subvert them.
What's interesting about the U.K. is that it celebrates an alternative voice. It's up for telling new stories.

lots narrow nor played range work
I don't feel that any kind of narrow stereotypes are representative of the work I've done, nor the range of the audience that work has found. I've played lots of different roles, and they've connected with lots of different people.
labels multiple round slip tries trying
I'm always trying to slip out of those labels everyone tries to put round your neck. We all have multiple selves.
