“I think we've got a very two-dimensional view of what masculinity is, of what strength is, what a guy needs to do.”

“The strangest place I have been recognised is a urinal. I was like: 'Why are you talking to me now?' That is the weirdest thing, but the most uncomfortable is when you are on the street and someone just grabs you.”

“Hair in the black community is such a big thing culturally. The barbershop is a place for black men to socialise, catch up and bond. It's the same for black women in the salon. Going there is my favourite thing to do in the week. You catch up with people, someone comes around with food, someone else is selling something.”

“All I can do is seek the information that'll make me stronger, that'll help me overcome my toxic masculinity, my male privilege, because that's something you never think about. You don't think about other people.”

“Masculinity in the classical sense is not important to me, it's always about being the strongest. But the topic of 'New Masculinity' interests me a lot. For me, new masculinity means freedom, openness and respect for individual ways of life.”

“There is a lot of toxic masculinity around.”
