I don't see myself only as a Somali character. I think of myself as an actor, and if the job fits me and I like the story, I will go for it.

When I see something, I go for it.

I was lucky enough to have parents that took me out from country to country and go to school and learn how to be a better person.

What I believe will make my acting career successful going forward is hard work. I like to challenge myself. Then it's the people I meet and choosing the projects I want to work on correctly. There's a lot of characters I can play.

I was never interested in becoming an actor. I was directing videos. I was never into acting. I was into shooting music videos. I've only ever been behind the camera. Never in front of it.

It'a okay to take some break from the crucible steep of stairs that you want to try to achieve, as long as you don't stop in the middle and go down where you have gone this far.
