I think we’ve all done things that are a detriment to ourselves, and we’ve all made good choices that have brought good things for us. Clare-Hope Ashitey Read Quote
If you are watching a fairy tale, that’s why you go to fairy tales: you want these uncomplicated stories and uncomplicated characters. But if it’s meant to be real life, you want there to be some reflection of your experience and have something you can hook into. Clare-Hope Ashitey Read Quote
You look around, and you think, ‘Given the chance, if we can get away with it, people are going to be nasty to each other.

I think people have always had ambiguous relationships toward the police because of the position in society they occupy. But that anxiety and that animosity isn’t as strong in other places as it is in the U.S., partially because the police are armed here. Clare-Hope Ashitey Read Quote
I can’t think of an experience I’ve had with police that I felt was based on race, which is one difference between England and the U.S. Clare-Hope Ashitey Read Quote
