As actors, you become an expert at starting over.

Growing up in Kenya, slum life was not far away. I had family that lived in slums, so I visited them often, and so I've seen and interacted with abject poverty. But I also know that because of that, poverty is not the definition of the people that live there.

I'm pretty awesome at making salad dressings.

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

I dress according to how I feel.

You fail, and then what? Life goes on. It's only when you risk failure that you discover things.

With success comes more responsibility, a larger size of existence, which is uncomfortable.
