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.'

When I wrote 'Kidulthood,' I didn't even know there was going to be a 'Kidulthood.' I just wanted to test myself to see if I could write a script.

After 'Kidulthood,' I was called in to a meeting and told that I didn't write women very well. I was very annoyed.

I don't think I'm egotistical, and I know what my limits are: I'm a black guy who's probably losing his hair. But I'm happy to play roles that I'm given, and I'm happy to play roles that I write.
