I was still thought of as a kid actor even though I was in my mid twenties.

Yes, there was nothing else to do to get you high. I mean, there was, but white kids didn't hear about it.

The kids put you on a pedestal. I didn't like it.

I wanted to have a normal childhood. Normal relationships.

I came back from university thinking I knew all about politics and racism, not knowing my dad had been one of the youngest-serving Labour councillors in the town and had refused to work in South Africa years ago because of the situation there. And he's never mentioned it - you just find out. That's a real man to me. A sleeping lion.

I'm from Norway, and when kids were reading comics, I was reading Icelandic and Norwegian sagas about the Vikings. The glorification of violence, their mentality, and their way of living - that was part of my own education growing up.

Like I said in my election manifesto - why don't they legalise the whole thing and let people like me work?

The purpose of Compulsory Education is to deprive the common people of their commonsense.
