Don't Send Me Your Script If You

Sunday At 11 O'clock Is The Most Segregated Hour In America. You Have Black Churches; You Have White Churches; You Have Hispanic Churches. It's Not Really Reflective Of The World We Live In, By And Large, In America.

I Have Been In Films Before Where People Have Been In A Rush To Label Them As A Black Film Or Even As A History Lesson. These Are Ways To Make The Film Feel Niche And Not For Everyone.

I Certainly Don't Feel There's A Distinction To Be Made Between A Television And A Film Actor. I Think There's A Distinction Between Great Actors And Not So Great Actors. But I Really Think If You Watch A Person Working In Television Give A Wonderful Performance, That Person Is F - Ing Great, Because There Is No Time.

I Truly Believe Slavery Is Why, As A By-product, We Still Have A Disproportionate Amount Of Black Men Incarcerated In America. It Is An Extension Of That Legacy, And That's Not Going To Start To Diminish Until Black People Have A New Sense Of Themselves That Isn't Tied To Slavery And Feeling Inferior. I Think The Church Can Be Instrumental In That, In Terms Of Repentance, Reconciliation And Just Being More Embracing Of Each Other - Not Just On Sunday, But In Life Generally.

Considering That I'm British And I Talk The Way I Do, I Love It When A Director Takes A Chance On Me.
