With everybody having a Facebook and a Twitter, I feel like regular people consider themselves stars.

When you know everything about somebody, you can talk to them any way you please.
I’m a first-time father, and it was amazing to me to learn that my son could actually use sign language before the spoken word. I could see this intelligence in his eyes before he could speak: how he could understand what was going on around him and was frustrated by that.

We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign.

I’m interested in seeing artists whom I respect who are very focused on the Black Lives Matter moment, bringing that into storytelling in a way that really amplifies the beauty and the humanity of people of color, and does it without having to wave a big sign that says, ‘This is what we’re doing.’
‘Shell Shocked’ is so different from what people are used to hearing from Ty Dolla Sign.

I wanted to dismantle the bollocks that there’s a military structure to a gang, with a leader, second leader, the good looking one, first babe, second babe. It’s far more arbitrary than that and their values shouldn’t be romanticised. They aren’t something you want to sign up to.
Also, I think having that comic gene kind of makes you look at things in a different way. If you take yourself so seriously, eventually you end up one of those people having a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on their lives. You see them drawing the curtains and they don’t even realize that they’ve kind of drifted off somewhere.

When you sign on and say, ‘I’m gonna do this and that,’ it’s always good to say at the end of it, ‘I’ve done all I said I would do.’

I sign on to any project because of the director: because they won’t change, and you’ve got to feel confident that you’re in good hands, in their vision.
Body concentrates order. It continuously self-repairs. Every five days you get a new stomach lining. You get a new liver every two months. Your skin replaces itself every six weeks.
