• Nollywood es un género, no toda la industria cinematográfica nigeriana. Sin embargo, ninguno de los directores de la "nueva ola" de Nigeria sabría lo que es posible sin el modelo de Nollywood, así que les estoy agradecido por mostrarnos que nuestras historias interesan a otras personas aparte de los nigerianos. Yo me describiría como cineasta, y punto.

• It was never a deliberate decision to make films about the 'woman experience'. Having said that, we are all many things - for example I'm Igbo and Nigerian, a director, a filmmaker etc., but I feel what affects me the most, especially the way people/society view or treat me, is the fact that I'm a woman, and I'm fascinated by that.

• Tres directores cuyo trabajo influye directamente en el mío son Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky y Susanne Bier (sus películas danesas). Te darás cuenta de que todos ellos no hacen películas para sentirse bien, como yo, y sus películas son siempre visualmente sencillas pero hermosas (¡y espero que las mías lo sean!).
