“An award like this is much bigger than me. This is about paying it forward to the young people who might not believe that they could achieve the highest honor in whatever craft they want to push for. You’re not a failure if you don’t get this but, I almost didn’t do it because I didn’t believe that there was a place for me.” – Jordan Peele wins Best Original Screenplay for ‘Get Out’ at the 90th Academy Awards

Happy Birthday Daniel Kaluuya! ( 24 February 1989)

I remember one time in my report it said, ‘Daniel is a distraction to others and himself.’ And I had this image of me” – he does a pantomime of interrupting and bothering himself – “and I’d hate it in class when they’d say, ‘Daniel, shut up!’ Am I talking to myself? Why are you telling me to shut up? There’s a conver-fucking-sation! It didn’t make sense to me. So because I said, ‘No’, I’d get kicked out. But I liked making people laugh. I liked performing, and I may even have voiced that.
