Growing Up Quotes by John Boyega

John Boyega

We’ve grown up with American movies. Not to say that American movies – or movies that have been based in Watts, Compton, or Inglewood – are a 100% true depiction of that world. But also you have inner-city London, and the foundations are pretty much the same. Especially me, growing up in Southeast London, in Peckham.

You have to realize that for some of these people – definitely me when I was growing up – you treat every day like it’s your last, because that’s the reality of your situation. You never know when someone’s going to go, because you’re living in a war zone. It’s almost like you’re in a jungle, and you’re just waiting for the predator to catch everybody one by one. So everybody cherishes each other. Instead of calling people the n-word, you’re calling people “loved one.” There is a level of appreciation for brothers and sisters in the hood.
