For me, exercise isn't really about being healthy, it's more about vanity. ”

My whole journey has been televised: the negative and the positive. ”

I sit down on my sofa and I turn on 'Judge Judy.' That's my guilty pleasure. I could do a whole day of that. ”

It was tough: I had to kiss a man, and I got a mixed reaction from the black community. But I have to be ready to play any role, or I can't call myself an actor. ”

Top Boy' didn't try to glamorise anything. It gave it to you how it was. But it also dealt with mental health, social situations, immigration. ”

I am not about airs and graces, fancy cars or jewellery. I am just about my family and my kids. ”

It's down to schools to educate children about their history, especially black history. ”

There's a lot of negative things which happen in the show we're not trying to lie about that, that's the beauty of 'Top Boy,' it's unapologetic. ”

There were not a lot of roles for a black man like myself that were different. Then 'Top Boy' came. I read the script and I loved that the characters were human. ”

It's important for people to listen and take time to watch what's going on in these shows, especially the ones like 'Top Boy' that are painting an accurate picture. ”
