Being in the woods at night is a beautiful thing.

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.

I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.

I don't think I'll ever escape the fact that I don't belong anywhere in particular. I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.

A lot of people have a fear of Shakespeare. Even actors do. People are like, "Oh, I won't go and see Shakespeare because the language is so hard," but it is. When you read it on the page, you go, "What?! What does that mean?!" If you go to a Shakespeare play and you've never been, you sit there and go, "I'm an idiot! I don't get it!"

I packed coffee once when I lived in Australia, and I just remember going around every day with coffee up my nose and in my ears.
