'Queen & Slim' Star Jodie Turner-Smith Tells Colin Farrell Where Home Is

FARRELL: That’s the signature you carry. Ireland is the signature I carry with me. It’s the creative, the emotional, the intellectual DNA that I will never escape, and I’m okay with that. I love coming back to L.A., but I don’t carry it with me. It sounds like Jamaica is the DNA you carry with you.

FARRELL: That city, more than most cities in America, had an incredible effect on me. The history, the melancholy, the sense of pain, and the music that was used as a way to make sense of gross injustice.FARRELL: That is such a clusterfuck. But even on a regular Tuesday night, the French Quarter is a disaster.

TURNER-SMITH: It was intense, but there’s something about the sense of celebration that I find so beautiful. I also found the black people in New Orleans to be incredibly special. No matter how much injustice and oppression there is in the world, there is still pride in this community that cannot be destroyed. I felt very alive there.

FARRELL: I get shivers up my spine walking around New Orleans at night. Through the abject cruelty of what that city was initially a port for, there’s this sense of community, this sense of man and woman needing each other TURNER-SMITH: That’s also the thing about this movie. Lena Waithe said that it’s about two people falling in love while the world burns down around them. There’s a lot of black tragedy that we’re constantly seeing, but what I think is beautiful about this story is that while this horrible thing is going on, there is this beauty that cannot be killed, or controlled, or extinguished. This film feels like a celebration of that.
