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.

You can't eat beauty, it doesn't sustain you. What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion, for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflamed the heart and merchants the soul.

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

It's great to have something to dress up for. You know, I spent three years in slacks at drama school, so now I like putting a dress on.

There's always a sense of newness with acting, because every role, you come to every role fresh.

I love color. I'm enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

Being called gorgeous is not a bad thing! But at the same time, I don’t want to thrive on people’s opinions of me.
