The first time I cut all my hair off was when I was 19. I just got fed up going to the salon every week. I'd had enough! On a whim, it was off. It's low-maintenance.

I've always had an involved imagination.

I have always loved children. I've been fantasizing about motherhood since I was probably 2 ½. I loved to babysit my cousins, and nieces, you know.

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

Your value is in yourself; the other stuff will come and go.

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

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