Jail was a result of me not taking time for myself. So I was forced to take some time for myself.

Amadu is all about the family. I’ve never known love like that before, and it made me think, ‘I want a bit of that’. It kind of forced me to get to know my family again. Another reason why he’s so lovely.

In ‘Hope Never Dies’, the fictional Obama and Biden go up against drug traffickers, outlaw bikers, and other seedy opponents. They’re forced to use skills they didn’t know they had. Or, to put it another way, unlike Jordan Peele’s Obama, this Obama doesn’t need an anger translator.
The whole concept behind ‘Forty Chances’ is really a mindset: If everybody thought they had to put themselves out of business in 40 years, you had 40 chances to succeed in what your primary goals are, you would probably be more urgent and you would be forced to change quicker.
The first Black Migration to this country was forced migration. It was the Middle Passage.

Joe Cocker never sounded forced. Crazy, perhaps, but not forced.
Mum used to hide love letters from my boyfriends and put me down. Now I understand that she was a Polish immigrant forced to settle in Chicago. She was jealous of the freedom life gave me.

With independent film, simply because they don’t have the money to make a big-budget film, they’re forced to make a story that’s important to them, that they would like to see on film, a personal story that people can relate to, about people, where you can see the love of the characters.
