Film Producers

"People are more accepting and curious. In film, the glass ceiling isn’t shattered yet, but it’s cracked. Locally, it’s relatively easier for African women to make films, though funding is always a hurdle. Globally, it’s tougher, but tough doesn’t mean impossible."

"Partner with people who know more than you and be prepared to learn from the ground up. I’m a newbie in the gaming space, but I constantly reach out to experts who can teach me. Collaboration and curiosity are everything"

"You spend an awful lot of money, and then you're at the mercy of the critics. But you think about today; you don't think too much about tomorrow. I'll tell you what it is: on the inside you're calm, and on the outside, you're buzzing. So it belies what you feel inside. If anything does get too much, too outrageous, I let myself go calm inside, even though on the outside I might be this buzzy woman. It's an art; you learn it."

"I was the worst actress in the world - ever"

"I knew I wasn't very good. I'm interested in being the proactive person. I don't want to walk into a room and just be judged on what I look like"

"When I left two hours later, my overwhelming feeling was one of shame that this monstrous act should have happened in proud, beloved Texas. And for all the stricken Dallas citizens, who had tried so hard, a sense of pity came even before the feeling of grief for the country’s loss. It was evident on many faces that the keen edge of shame cut deep"

"Some shows make money and some don't, and it 'sort of evens out in the end."

"You do need an element of madness."
