As one grows older, you realize that you do not need to be in all the
movies. If you have been following my career, as years went by, from
doing 10 movies in a year, I reduced it to six. I later reduced to one
per year, because I felt that it’s not how many times you appear in a
movie but how well you act. People call me all the time to come and
feature in their movies, but I always decline. My reasons are that, as
you move around you have other aspirations and other opportunities
appear.
In Igbo parlance, you don’t watch a masquerade display in one
spot; you have to move around to get the total view. Any smart person
will take advantage of any opportunity that comes, there are a million
and one businesses out there that align with what one’s profession. The
Dangotes of this world do a million businesses; they don’t stick to one
business and become who they are today. I didn’t stop acting because
jobs stopped coming but because I needed to do other things. However, I
am still involved in the industry even though it is mostly behind the
camera.
