On negative reactions to his being cast in Star Wars: 

I’ve just been like, “Wow, I’m loving it.” This is why I led my career on a different route, and I wanted to represent on a different scale since I started. I wanted it to be different, I wanted it to be unique. I wanted people to hopefully see me in a movie and feel like, you know what, he bridges the gap between what people think of Peckham, Deptford, and all that kind of stuff, and show that there are talents all around the world in different circumstances.
