On a very practical level, I've learned the importance of circulation socks for planes. I had this awful experience of getting off a flight to go to an event and my feet had swelled. Try getting into heels then! So you put on the socks for the flight, then you can wear whatever heels you want.

I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.

I like people who don't tell you what you want to hear.

When I was younger, I was almost too afraid to admit that I wanted to be an actor. I didn't know any successful actors in Kenya, so I felt like I could get away with going to college to study film more easily than I could with saying, 'I want to be an actor.' That's what I did.

Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

You have to allow for the impossible to be possible.

I would love to have a career that's governed by the material; I always want to be part of stories that I feel are worthwhile.
