“I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, ...” — Noel Clarke Quote

I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they're the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema?

I think it's important that we have a new batch of British film-makers that aren't doing the same old stuff. And that includes me.

I just started to write because I was fed up of not seeing the stories that I wanted, so I was like 'Stop moaning and write something.'

I did 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood,' and that's what people wanted and expect me to always do. They want me to do 'hood films and be the guy swinging baseball bats and saying 'Yo Blood' and beating up others in the street.

I went through a phase of deep introspection. I realised that while doing films back to back, I was getting burnt out and not concentrating on quality. I wasn't preparing for my role and was working like a machine. When I saw the result on the big screen, I felt that the work I'd done was horrible.

I don't want to be a grumpy old man or too pessimistic, because if I have a chance, I would prefer to watch a film in the cinema with an audience on a big screen instead of watching it on a cell phone. It's a very different experience, but somehow I think this form will have its own future and life.

I look like a winner, I smell like a winner, so why not put it on the big screen?
