| Quotes: |
When work ends, I'd rather just be seen as Daniel - normal.
<br />
<hr>
If I was at school and one of my friends said something funny, I'd write it down in a notebook and take it to the writers meetings. I never told my friends about it. I just thought I could incorporate stuff that was true to life.
<br />
<hr>
Racism is like a horror movie. Black kids die because of racism. I don't know what's more horrifying than that.
<br />
<hr>
Writing can be really lonely, and I find that bit difficult. I'd rather be around my people, getting ideas.
<br />
<hr>
I go to music festivals, and people want to talk to me about racism. I'm like, 'Bro, I'm trying to have fun!' |
