Carmen Ejogo Quotes

I’d love to play a full-out rocking chick Picture Quote #1

Success for me will be where the body of work I’ve done afforded me the opportunity to be as good as I can be, and to explore myself and to see what I’m capable of Picture Quote #1

Growing up in London, with a hippie mom, I don’t know that I’m most people’s definition of what a black person is. I’m mixed, yes, but in the world I’m defined as black before I’m defined white. I’ve never been called white Picture Quote #1

There are many mediocre entertainers who don’t aspire to much more than fame and glory. It’s very easy to have them as your role models because there aren’t as many greats. Go back, discover the greats, and take it from there Picture Quote #1

Any good director, and I’ve worked with a few that I would call very good, they know how to disarm any anxieties very quickly Picture Quote #1

The great fear I’ve had to overcome is the fear of failure. It can be safer to stay in a comfort zone that’s not stretching yourself Picture Quote #1

Coming from the U.K., I can think of so many great songs and musical moments that didn’t require a belter of a voice; my favorite singer is Kate Bush and she’s not a belter, or PJ Harvey... I’m definitely more of an alternative girl Picture Quote #1

I dabbled a little bit in the whole music thing but I’ve always thought about Bernie Taupin, who is Elton John’s lyricist; Elton John is the great melody and song writer but Bernie Taupin is the one who writes all the lyrics. I don’t write lyrics, and I never wanted to be in the music business if I was just going to be a puppet in it Picture Quote #1

I wanted to work with Mike Leigh. I had my list of British people I wanted to work with, and I wanted to work with David Lynch and Woody Allen Picture Quote #1

I can remember being very keen to go to drama school at the age of eight, and practising ballet in my bedroom to Queen soundtracks Picture Quote #1

I really feel that I had a genuinely diverse, multicultural upbringing, and I just don’t find New York to be quite as diverse. Maybe I’m romanticising, but I feel that I was exposed to a real melting pot in terms of culture and pop culture. My kids are essentially middle-class, but I do try to remind them that they come from humble beginnings Picture Quote #1

Musicals are finally kind of coming back to a degree, perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia Picture Quote #1

I’m guessing that musicals didn’t make sense anymore because of the changes in the political environment that began in the late Sixties, an era of self-awareness and social revolutions Picture Quote #1

Do not let your light be dimmed by anybody who doesn’t appreciate the dream that you’re trying to pursue Picture Quote #1

At times as an actor, it’s often times unclear as to what the directors envision for a project Picture Quote #1

The Hollywood culture is so invasive, and I definitely wanted to be near it eventually Picture Quote #1

I was not seduced by the celebrity side of acting. However, as a British girl watching a lot of American TV, I saw that there was a whole world of opportunity in the States that I wanted to discover Picture Quote #1

I feel like I was born an actor. I did not pursue acting until I was a bit older. But I got a taste of it at an earlier age in the UK Picture Quote #1

I was this very precocious kid with a big personality. When my mother saw that modelling was something I enjoyed, she didn’t dissuade me Picture Quote #1
