Because Quote by Gugu Mbatha-Raw

“I don't really want to just play the girlfriend or the love interest. I get so many scripts like that, and - not to moan, because I'm really fortunate - but I just look at those scripts, and my heart sinks a little bit because I think there's so much more to us than that.” quote by Gugu Mbatha-Raw — Download Open image
