I like gardening.

I love the industry I'm in, and it's been really generous to me.

Theatre has always been ahead in terms of colourblind casting.

I don't like going for more than a year without doing theatre. I don't mind falling flat on my face so long as I feel I'm open to the possibility of something extraordinary happening.

When I do things that aren't very good, I'm worse as an actor. I don't know what I pick up - but it's something not very nice.

As a black actress, all I was offered in British film was the best friend role, whereas in TV I was offered a whole spectrum of parts.
