The multiple award winning actress who got married to her first love, Mr. Clifford Sule in a lavish traditional wedding, in a recent interview spoke about her rising career, her challenges and what it feels like being married to her first love. Excerpts:
Congratulations on your marriage. What does it feel like getting married to your first love?
Thank you. It’s the best and most rewarding feeling I’ve ever felt. It feels like I’ve come full circle. I am thankful.
It’s the dream of many women that never came to reality but yours did . Would you say its sheer luck or you were just meant to be?
How many times have I mentioned God so far? Pardon me but I’ll also have to give Him credit for this. We are together because God has willed it to be so. I don’t think it’s due to sheer luck. A little bit maybe, but definitely a lot of God.
What’s your definition of true love?
Being able to be yourself when you’re with someone, without the fear of judgement. It is the comfort that comes from knowing that someone out there is thinking of you and cares deeply for you. It’s my husband.
What do you miss most about your spinsterhood?
Absolutely nothing, believe it or not but when I compare the two, there is nothing to miss. Being married means I no longer have to deal with life’s challenges on my own and I always have someone to share my happy moments with.
How have you been able to cope with being a wife and your career ?
I take it one day at a time. I know where my priorities lie and I make sure that I stay true to them.
Who do you look up to in the movie industry?
Internationally, I admire Meryl Strep and I like Steve Buscemi and Don Cheadle. When it comes to Nigeria, I’ll have to plead the fifth. There are way too many talented people over here to risk leaving out any names.
Do you have any regrets in life?
Regrets are a waste of time. Everything that has happened to me so far has led me to this point. Good, bad, difficult or pleasant. I would not be Nse if my past were to miraculously get altered. So no, I have no regrets.
Describe your personal style?
What I wear depends on the occasion and my role at the event. Otherwise, my style is somewhere between a tomboy and a Disney princess.
If you could be any designer’s muse, whose would it be and why?
I love Elie Saab. His dresses are so effortlessly chic. I also like to wear Wanger Ayu’s clothes. She gets my personal style every time.
What are your success secrets?
A: I have three of them. I must put God first, without his grace, life is very difficult. Then I have to nurture my talent and get the necessary training I need to excel in my field and then work harder than everyone else. If you do these three things, then success is yours for the taking.
What advice do you have for people who look up to you?
A: I didn’t set out to be anyone’s role model so it is very pleasant to hear that people look up to me. I’d say that there is no substitute for hard work and a good name is indeed better than riches. Please stay true to yourself and the family that raised you. I know there are a lot of distractions for young people these days, but stay focused on the important things and it will be worth it.
