"I play the role of Sandra Isadore, Fela's love and basically his teacher," she explained. "What I like about Sandra is that she saw something in Fela. Fela was definitely passionate about his music and passionate about what he was feeling — he knew things were going wrong in Nigeria, he knew there was corruption going on — but [he was] emotional about things [that he hadn't] studied, researched and gotten all the facts [about], and that's what Sandra helped him to do. I like how she loved him, saw the potential in him and she helped him to learn more about himself and his country."
