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.

As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.

Never send a human to do a machine's job.

When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.

It's a real pleasure to go to work when you're in the most extraordinary surroundings, and working with people who are young and interested and creatively keen.
