I have loved filmed from when I was a child, but I never considered it as a future career.

As a filmmaker you make your films with the audience you want to attract in mind.

While my work is usually about the Igbo woman experience, there are many aspects of my female characters that women everywhere can and do relate to.

The audience I'm targeting doesn't care about the language spoken in the films they watch. They're interested in more important things like story, performance, cinematography etc.

There are a lot of filmmakers I love whose work doesn't inspire mine at all. For example: Quentin Tarantino. From his films you can see that he has a wicked sense of humour, and I love that!

I would describe myself as a filmmaker, period.

Nollywood is a genre, and not the entire Nigerian film industry.

My favourite films are in languages I don't understand.

I entered the film industry sprinting, but not for long.

I prefer to discover new talent by holding open auditions.

To beat Federer 3 times does not mean anything he is a genius whose hair does not even move when he plays.

The objective of the liberals is to destroy this country.

Integrity is not so much what we do as much as who we are.

There has to be a middle. Without it, nothing can ever truly be whole. Because it is not just the space between, but also what holds everything together.

We have become blind to the alternatives to violence.
