I get to be goofy and quirky and sweet at the same time.

I identify myself as a Nigerian because that is where I was born and raised and where my family still lives.

I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.

Basically, we are all different and we all have something to learn and it doesn't mean people need to change who you are but one should be open to new things and, above all, tolerance and understanding are essential for growth and happiness.

My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England it was very British.

Comedy has always been something I love, but for some reason - probably because of the British accent - I've always been pushed toward more period work.

With me, it's clothing and makeup and hair and all that stuff that inform how the character moves and feels.
