I definitely don't intend to only make films about Nigerians or Africans. I want to make films about people, any people.

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.

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

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 can be said truly to know who and what I am only because there are others who can be said truly to know who and what I am.

No tears come, only memories. Memories and regrets.

Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.

Keep in mind that every single generation before us has worked under the assumption that they possessed all the major tools for understanding the universe, and they were all wrong, without exception.

I was seeking a real love, a real deal, and I have been seeking it for a lot of years. And in that seeking, I found that God's love is real

But, if recent history has taught us anything, it’s that self-regulation doesn’t work in finance, and that worries about reputation are a weak deterrent to corporate malfeasance.

Depth of feeling and clarity of thought isn’t the same as knowing.

I've never eaten just a few bites of things I liked in my life.

I used to think that diamonds were a girl's best friend, but now I realize it's carbohydrates. Seriously, I have a French baguette at home sporting a matching friendship bracelet.

Thanks be to God, since my leaving drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.
