John Boyega quotes:

My dad's a Pentecostal minister, meaning that he's full of charisma. If he's telling a story about Noah's ark, you best know each tiger is going to be having their own little conversation and narrative.

I remember my manager telling me, 'Be myself, be humble, keep rooted, keep God first'. Those words were very helpful.

My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.

You know, we all can do bad, and we all can do good.

The 'block' in 'Attack the Block' is not just a physical thing. It's people; it's families.

I love London. I'm a London fanatic. That's my city.

I remember my manager telling me, Be myself, be humble, keep rooted, keep God first. Those words were very helpful.

Ive had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

Acting careers dont come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all.

There is a level of appreciation for brothers and sisters in the hood.

Not everybody has that mentality and that's fine, but once Robert Redford leaves this earth - later rather than sooner - his legacy will go on.

I'm a London fanatic. That's my city. I love being from there, you don't appreciate it until you go out.

Portray the world for what it is, and you will find truth.

Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.

I've been acting since I was 5 years old, from primary school to secondary school, did training at drama school, which was the big thing for me because they trained me, put me out into the industry.

I watched season four of 'The Wire.' They have subtle performances that they do through their eyes. You could watch season four with the audio off and still understand what's happening through their eyes.

It's amazing that people still feel, 'Oh my gosh, it's a black guy.' We've been here for a long time; let's get used to it. Let's get used to other cultures.

I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

I'd like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character.

Hollywood has given me a great, warm hug.

Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.

Being robbed hurts - not physically, but from what it does to your pride.

My biggest challenge is to not do urban movies for the rest of my life, those alpha hoodies.

I want to see more people of different backgrounds being cast in films. I want to see people from inner cities being discovered, because that's where you find some really brilliant artists.

Every time I go out in London, I'm not always with my guys. I have three female friends that I'll go out with all the time. I'm the only guy there.

Guys, I haven't been doing this for a long time, it's a fluke! I'm gonna share this BAFTA award with all the young dreamers who are determined, who are hard working, who are quite frankly amazing. This is also for you. Blessings for your path and God bless.

Who wouldn't want to be in 'Star Wars?' It'd be great.

Id like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character.

People watch me when I get into these characters that I have in my head, so perhaps I should try acting. So I did.
