Quotes
edit- There are times in life you find yourself falling in love with something else entirely other than what you studied in school. I am a very creative person, not only in arts but also when it comes to making people look beautiful. I love creativity. I fell in love with acting right from when I was a child. I remember when I was growing up, I used to go for beauty pageants and I enjoyed being in the limelight.
- My mother is a typical Yoruba woman who frowned on the kind of exposure kids got from such pageants. She would ask why I would want to be half naked in front of strangers. She was not too keen about it and as a teenager, I looked up to my parents. When you love something very much and you are not being supported, then you have the tendency of looking away.
- I love shoes, especially shoes with high heels. I feel more comfortable putting on shoes with high heels. When I was younger, my mother would say, ‘the higher your heels, the higher your confidence.’ She used to believe that when you put on shoes with high heels, it gives you some confidence and you can walk with your head high up.
