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

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.

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

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.

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

It was never a deliberate decision to make films about the 'woman experience'.

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

I prefer to discover new talent by holding open auditions.

Success steps: Think big. Act small. Then scale.Failure steps: Act big. Think small. Then shrink.Consider your next big thing a project. Get one. Get it right. No sense growing a broken system.

Putting 100% effort into "trying" will always make you successful. With that in mind it's important to remember that the effort part is never easy.

Humility is as good for the soul as it is for the memory

Just because something is legal doesn't always make it right.

Solitude desolates me; company oppresses me.

NAFTA and GATT have about as much to do with free trade as the Patriot Act has to do with liberty.

For the obvious reasons, furthering my children's education and keeping my family healthy and thriving is my highest mission.

But you make me sing like a guitar humming . . .

To capture an enemies army is better than to destroy it.

Corporations use all sorts of complex stratagems to move their profits overseas, and thus escape the U.S. income tax.
