  • I took a break from modeling.

  • I had decided that enough was enough when you're the model, you're working 10 times more than your predecessor is because there's that much more demand for things to buy.

  • It came a point when I needed to take a break and somehow I ended up in Ghana and then just every time I get a chance to escape I run back here, it's a place, come on, so I'm gonna make some breakfast, some scrambled eggs and some coffee.

  • My dad taught me how to cook actually, but I can only cook like thai and Nigerian food if you want me to make spaghetti, I'll probably burn your house.

  • Okay.
