Daniel Kaluuya

Usually I do a job, and, like, two weeks later, it disappears and is replaced with something else, but 'Get Out' kept growing and growing and growing, and it keeps taking me to rooms I could never get in before. ”

My experience growing up in London and growing up in a working class background is that when people are down and out, that's when they're probably the funniest. They have to be. That's what they do to cope, to find joy, 'cause they don't feel the joy inside. Or they use humor to keep people out. ”

I don't think you become a name with just one job. ”

Whenever I'm in a film that's from a perspective that is dominant within western culture... I'm always trying to prove myself. When it's from a black perspective, I don't have to - they get it. ”

Racism is like a horror movie. Black kids die because of racism. I don't know what's more horrifying than that. ”

Racism isn't just in America... Alienation is felt worldwide in different capacities. ”

What I find really exciting is stories from a different viewpoint. ”

Being young, working class, and black, everything you do is policed. If someone hits you and you hit back, you are aggressive. If you cry, you are weak. You are kind of always pretending to be something. ”

This industry's hard. The world is hard. Being young and black is tough. ”

I just like playing guys, normal dudes. That's the stuff that I really enjoy watching: when it feels grounded. ”
