Riz Ahmed Quotes

I go to a lot of stand-up comedy. I find more inspiration from observational stuff than from rap Picture Quote #1

Bandwagons roll through our lives. Its up to you whether you jump on them unquestioningly or jump on them to overturn them and subvert them Picture Quote #1

The camera or the microphone in the booth is merciless. If you don’t believe what you’re saying, it hears it. If you don’t believe it, it sees it in your eyes, it hears it in your voice that there isn’t the conviction there Picture Quote #1
