I'm interested in generating work for myself. I have trouble with this waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring lifestyle, especially after drama school, which was so creatively fulfilling.

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.

What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

I come from a loving, supportive family, and my mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty. Beautiful people have many advantages, but so do friendly people.... I think beauty is an expression of love.

I always love to learn new things. That's the reason I like being an actor.

I grew up in Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya, so it's hustle and bustle, and there's always something going on.
