“I feel that I don't have to wait around for good scripts anymore, that...” — Chiwetel Ejiofor Quote

I feel that I don't have to wait around for good scripts anymore, that I can get things moving more quickly. I can ring up directors I like and say I'm keen to work with them, which is pretty great.

I enjoy doing everything, comedy and drama. I just look for the characters really and what they offer.

The Second World War simplified things like race, and people came down on very clear lines.

I am struck by how, walking down the street, I'm rarely made aware of my race, but that among journalists, race is absolutely massive.

It's hard to tell the story if you're not involved yourself, emotionally.

With The Simpsons you can go back to work with a keen heart.

At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of me being on stage having to sing in front of people.

I am not too keen to do movies, as I don't have time to waste on struggling for a role in a film.

I definitely am keen on doing films in the West.

I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.
