Surround yourself with good people that keep you grounded, work hard, and be patient.

I feel comfortable in the US, the UK and in Ghana. They are all home to me in some way.

I love performing in any medium, and more the opportunities you have to vary things, the more you learn.

The great thing about really heightened historical dramas is that they can convey much larger themes.

A dream role is a role that you can't even picture for yourself. Everything I've ever played I never pictured I would get a chance to play. It [has] gone beyond my wildest dreams. One thing I would love to do in my lifetime is a movie musical. I've wanted to do that since I was a kid. That's what made me interested in acting in the first place. I would do any type of musical, but I love the Harlem Renaissance era. I think a dream role in something that I probably can't see and I don't know when it's going to come.

I think training is helpful, but so is living a well-rounded life full of different experiences.
