“The joy of 'Crash' was that it was all about the work. It was my first real part. Before that, it was a line here and there, maybe a scene.

I suppose my name means more in Nigeria today than it did five years ago. But I feel the job that literature should do in our community has not even started.

“A "snapshot" feature in USA Today listed the five greatest concerns parents and teachers had about children in the '50s: talking out of turn, chewing gum in class, doing homework, stepping out of line, cleaning their rooms.
