David Harewood Quotations

Forget fashion, dress for comfort and for ease of getting through security, so no hats, belts or unnecessary accessories.

I loved working with Mandy Patinkin, I have to say.

Normally for work I will fly business class.

British people are surprised that I'm British!

For all its problems, I found South Africa a beautiful country, interesting and inspiring.

At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.

New York is vibrant, sexy, naughty, always surprising, and has great live music and great fashion.

I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering.

Art is all about the experience. I could say I dont really relate to opera, but then you watch Placido Domingo, and you go, Blimey, look at that.

My parents are very proud of my success but still worry, as Im in a profession where there is no guarantee of work. They have always supported my decision to go into acting, but there have been tough times work-wise.
