I'm not fighting with myself. oh, my god. that's how i am. you know, the story of the hippo? the hippo comes to the monkey and said, listen, i'm not a hippo. so, he paint himself like a zebra. he said but he's still a hippo. he said but look at you, you're painted like a zebra but you are a hippo. so then he goes, you know, like i want be a little parrot. so, he put the colours on him and he comes to the monkey and said but, sorry, you are a hippo. so, in the end, you know, he comes and said i'm happy to be a hippo. this is who i am. so, i have to be who i am and he's happy being a hippo.

You might not think a hippo could inspire terror. screaming “hippo!” doesn’t have the same impact as screaming “shark!” but i’m telling you—as the egyptian queen careened to one side, its paddle wheel lifting completely out of the water, and i saw that monster emerge from the deep, i nearly discovered the hieroglyphs for accident in my pants.

It's strange, somebody asked for my autograph the other day. because i finished school and i'm not really doing anything at the moment, i was just kind of aimlessly wandering around london and these two guys who were about 30 came up and asked for my autograph. i was really quite proud at the time, and they wanted to take photos and stuff. and then they were sort of wandering around and i was kind of wandering around and i bumped into them about three times, and every single time their respect for me kept growing and growing and growing.

Taking the continent as a whole, this religious tension may be responsible for the revival of the commonest racial feeling. africa is divided into black and white, and the names that are substituted- africa south of the sahara, africa north of the sahara- do not manage to hide this latent racism. here, it is affirmed that white africa has a thousand-year-old tradition of culture; that she is mediterranean, that she is a continuation of europe and that she shares in graeco-latin civilization. black africa is looked on as a region that is inert, brutal, uncivilized - in a word, savage.

I don't think there's anything that i would really baulk at doing on-screen. i don't think so. i've got certain pet peeves about writing... my pet peeve about reading scripts is when they give you a line reading and there'll be a line but next to your character's name it'll say 'very angry'. but i'm like: "well, i'll decide that actually!" so, there's little things like that. that's a slight pet peeve.

Today's reading was "if they ask you to walk a mile, walk two. don't take an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth." you have chances every second to live this word, but it has to be in you. it can't just be an idea; it has to sink from the mind into the heart.
