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!

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.

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 prefer to discover new talent by holding open auditions.

It occurred to them for the first time in their lives that what's divine can come in dark skin.

I think that Governor Romney needs to talk about the fact that what he tried to do in the state of Massachusetts was him seeing what could be best for his state, but maybe it didn't work out as well.

The killing of innocent people is always wrong.

My granddad used to say, If everybody liked the same thing, they'd all be after your grandma.

If everyone is mature, there is no comedy.

It was a damned good thing men couldn’t have children. Gregory took no shame in admitting that the human race would have died out generations earlier.

Success in life is about obsession

I love songwriting. It's second to my love for singing in how I express myself.

Friendship is such an elastic word. There never was an age when it stood for so many things in private, and was yet so absolutely non-existent in fact.

I think there will be 20 years of evolution from linear broadcast to internet television.
