Solomon Northup: I don't want to survive. I want to live.
Quotes from Chiwetel Ejiofor movies and TV shows
Solomon Northup: [Finally reunited with his family.] I apologize for my appearance. But I have had a difficult time these past several years.
Solomon Northup: I will not fall into despair till freedom is opportune!
Adrian Helmsley: The moment we stop fighting for each other, that's the moment we lose our humanity.
Luke: Julian was wrong. She thought it could be peaceful. But how can it be peaceful when they try to take away your dignity?
Theodore Faron: She's pregnant.
Luke: Yeah, it's a miracle, innit?
Okwe: My hands are shaking.
Guo Yi: So are mine! I don't have a driver's license.
Okwe: The hotel business is about strangers, and strangers will surprise you.
The doctor: How come I've never seen you people before?
Okwe: Because we are the people you do not see. We are the ones who drive your cabs. We clean your rooms. And suck your cocks.
Lola: Ladies, gentlemen and those who are yet to make up your mind.
Lola: Look to the heel, young man. The sex is in the heel.
Big Mike: Well, you wouldn't put a frock on. If you don't want to get off with blokes, why put a frock on?
Lola: Thing is, Mike, ask any woman what she likes most in a man. Compassion, tenderness, sensitivity. Traditionally the female virtues. Perhaps what women secretly desire is a man who is fundamentally a woman.
Mrs. Cobb: Ah! Now the little pottery shoes, they're good luck, you see? You know, like Whitby has lucky glass ducks, Northampton has lucky pottery shoes. Can I just ask, are you a man?
Lola: I am, love, yes.
Mrs. Cobb: Ah, that's fine. Just so's I know how to leave the toilet seat.
Lauren: Lola, you're gonna have to excuse Charlie. We don't have many transvestites in Northampton.
Lola: I'm not merely a transvestite, sweetheart. I'm also a drag queen. It's a simple equation. A drag queen puts on a frock, looks like Kylie. A transvestite puts on a frock, looks like... Boris Yeltsin in lipstick. There, I said it.
Lola: Change your mind about someone.
Lola: Put on a frock and I can sing 'Stand by Your Man' in front of five hundred strangers... Put on a pair of jeans and I can't even sodding well say hello.
Lola: There are some very funny people out there.
Lola: One never knows what joy one might find amongst the unwanted.
Lola: Came all this way for my advice? I feel like Oprah.
