Annie Ilonzeh

I'm really good with sweats, not really good with heels, and not really good with accessorizing yet.

I feel like decades ago it was either you're black, white, Asian or Hispanic, or whatever, but today we see more of an acceptance for people with multi-nationalities.

I come from an interracial family: My father is from Nigeria, and so he is African-American, and my mother is American and white, so I rarely see skin color. It's never an issue for me.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.

With Schubert, a lot of the melodies are very simple, but he's in this groove. He's in touch with his heart.
