"African storytelling is unique because it preserves, interprets, and passes on culture."

"You have to sacrifice everything to get what you want in life."

"No, they call me TK mostly because when I'm working it is what people call me. I want people to be free with me because that way I get the best out of them."

"My films are hits because I respect my audience. My name and reputation are all I have. There is a standard below which I cannot perform. It takes time and consistency for an audience to trust you."

"I believe the secret to creative film-making is in books. That is why I tell young people to read as much as they can. It is a pity that Nigerians don’t like to read."
