Sci-fi and horror feel so relevant to me as a woman.
I'm healthy, but I'm not thin.
My mum was very supportive, and I don't really understand why when I think of her humble beginnings. She grew up in one room with my grandma, my grand-dad and her siblings and a fire-pit outside to cook on. Now she's a homeowner in Manchester and has a business.
The day after Brexit I had a moment when someone said, 'Don't you want to go back to your own country?' I wasn't 100 per cent sure if he was thinking he was being kind? I was like, 'Um... this is my home, thank you.'
I plant vegetables and every time I see a flower I'm like, 'I'm going to get a vegetable in a few weeks!'
I have truly never been honest outside of the home in regards to racism and inequality and what I've been subject to.
My parents are professors. My sister is a Ph.D. student. My other sister has a business.
When I step out of my front door, I have to paint on a bright, big smile to make sure people treat me kindly rather than with suspicion, or assume that I'm going to be aggressive.
I read a script that's presented to me, and if I love the story and the role, I audition for the part, which is pretty much how I approach it.
I'm always playing someone grumpy or sad or grieving or downtrodden or stoic. As people get to know me within the industry, they know it's completely the opposite of what I'm like because I am a hyperactive, energetic ball.
In Nigeria, my grandma sold everything - everything - for my mum's education.
I've realized I have not been completely honest with what I need and what I want and how I've been treated, and I haven't necessarily stood up for myself. I've not always stood completely in my power and spoken the truth.
I grew up on a council estate.
Truly, you always do your best in an audition. Even if it's terrible, you've done your best in the moment.
I actually sewed my own wedding dress and I sewed my flower girl dresses.
I would die to get a part in 'Glee' and sing a song.
Racism hasn't been an everyday thing in my life, overt racism. There is obviously structural differences, but hate? I've not really had that.
I feel so British, but people would look at me and see a very African woman - the way I cook is very Nigerian, the way I dress I guess is quite Nigerian.
The taste of guava is my first memory. I remember somebody picking it from the tree and throwing it down to me.
I censor myself all the time.
