When a child wants to be accepted, he'll do anything. And if it means you're getting a certain amount of notoriety from a fight, that's what you'll do.
From Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you're the author of your own destiny.
I've never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up.
The only way I know how to deliver is to focus; some people can turn it on or off - I'd rather stay in character.
The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.
I'm of Nigerian descent, from the Yoruba tribe. Names are very significant in that culture. It basically states your purpose in life.
Well, filming in Hawaii, you know, is a blessing. It's one of the most beautiful places on this planet. It has a very mystic energy which informs you as an actor.
Wale means to arrive home. So the crown has arrived home. Akin is warrior or brave man. Nuoye is a brave man of chieftaincy and Agbaje means wealth and prosperity.
You really have to act your pants off to stay alive. I thrive on that; I rise to the occasion of the circumstances.
