Quotes I respect the institution of marriage as my parents were married until death literally parted them and they had a beautiful relationship. The problem is at some point, it begins to annoy you because of how much importance people have placed on it. Rita Dominic on marriage. I do want to marry, and I want to get it right once and for all. You know, we make such a big deal of it; we force people and put pressure on them to go in. When they eventually rush into this union, they make mistakes because they were only trying to please people. Rita Dominic on marriage "Anjola is a very dark character, infact I remember when we were in the Basement shooting, it was so dark in there that it literally affected me, I wasn’t sleeping well. I’ll try to sleep and I’d wake up abruptly." Reveals how Brenda Fassie inspired her character in 'La Femme Anjola' I will marry the man of my dreams and not the man society dreams for me. Speaking during an interview with TVC. "I don’t know. I think I just really think differently from a lot of people. I don’t know. What I mean by that is there are certain things I don’t let get to me". Speaking in an interview with media personality, Chude. "I play Ada, a heavily burdened house wife on a mission to finding fulfilment in her five-year-old marriage. She becomes increasingly desperate and takes a path uncommon to many to fulfil her quest." Her role in the film One Room (2 July 2016) "The story and the role are different from anything I’ve done." Her reason for choosing to act in the movie One Room (July 2016) "She’s delightful to work with and is very clear with her directions. As a producer, she is very organised. We have very few ‘actor’s directors’ in this industry and she’s one of the very few." Her experience working with Blessing Egbe (2016) "I’ve featured in a lot of other people’s films aside from mine but over a decade ago, I started being choosy of the kind of movies I feature in. I wanted to go for more challenging roles. I want to play more of an outside the box role that stretches my character." Explaining her absence in regular Nollywood movies (4 December 2021) "Let me say that I like to work on movies that would be seen internationally. It can be a Nollywood that would be globally accepted." Aims at international value (December 2021) "I won’t say slowing down, it’s about being more intentional about the kind of job you want to be identified with. Because I feel like after being in Nollywood for over two decades, you want to do certain roles that are very challenging outside your norm, stretching yourself." Debunking that the new crop of actresses in Nollywood form any form of challenge to her (2021) "I don’t know, all I know is that I just try to do the best I can as a producer and an actor." Aims at international value (2021).
