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.
