Since childhood, I have always followed my heart.
Growing up, I was vaguely aware of things that went on in church, because I was in the boys’ choir at the local Episcopal church. But I got the clear message that I was supposed to learn music there, and not pay too much attention to the rest of it, and I followed those instructions very carefully.
I’ve followed Roma because my friend Miralem Pjanic is here. It’s a great club. I have a good relationship with Miralem.
I’d always been acutely sensitive to my surroundings – and aware that I could make them rather than just observe them. So I began by designing interiors for myself, for friends, for clients – I just felt that I’d discovered my element, and those who really looked at what I was doing liked it – and the rest followed.
My father was a sea captain, so was his father, and his father before him, and all my uncles. My mother’s people all followed the sea. I suppose that if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have had my own ship.

Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life.

There are dialogue writers for a movie, there is a script to be followed… whatever my character says is not a reflection on my personal opinion or principles in life.
I can’t even count how many times I’ve been pulled over. I can’t count how many times I’ve gone to a club and not got in, how many times a security guard has followed me round a shop. I can’t count how many times that somebody has asked me if I’m a footballer because I’ve come out of a nice car.

I started racing BMX when I was five years old. I followed in my brother’s footsteps, and I was a little tomboy. When I came into the sport, there wasn’t many women. I raced with the boys; I looked up to the boys, and all my mentors were boys.
If half-black Barack Obama had decided years ago to call himself white – which his genes certainly entitled him to do – his story would have carried very different meaning. If millions of part-black people had followed him into whiteness, then the N.A.A.C.P. would be in true crisis.
After ‘The Fellowship of the Ring,’ the films that followed it, instead of having their own unique aesthetic, they all wanted to be ‘Lord of the Rings’ as opposed to learning from ‘Lord of the Rings.’

It was Benny P Nayarambalam who first cast me in a character which made people laugh, in ‘Marykkundoru Kunjadu.’ Then ‘Seniors’ happened, followed by ‘Ordinary’ and ‘Romans.’ They were all commercially successful films and so I kept getting such roles.

I used to assist my chachaji in his artificial jewellery business. One day, I got the opportunity to visit V. Shantaram’s film set to supply some jewellery.

I’ve never followed my party… I’m no yes-man, I’ve never been a yes-man.
I got a concussion on the final play of a game, and I don’t remember leaving the field. No one helped me off the field. Apparently I was on my feet and I just followed the crowd of players into the locker room. I don’t know where I was or what I did for 10 minutes.
