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.

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

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

I feel privileged that people are looking up to me and perhaps a dream will be born because of my presence.

Happiness is the most important thing.

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.
