BEVERLY HILLS, January 24, (THEWILL) – Veteran Nigerian actress, Joke Silva, says fans should stop dictating to creative people how to act.
Silva disclosed this while speaking during a recent interview with a popular blog, saying fans telling creatives how to act is not good for “anybody’s career”.
She said: “It is very important for one to stay true to who one is. I, sometimes, see a tendency for fans to dictate how one should behave. I don’t think that helps in anybody’s career, especially as an actor or a creative person. One needs to be oneself in order to interpret whatever is going on around one. That would affect how one tells one’s story as a storyteller.”
The ace actress also disclosed tips on how to become a ‘trans-generational’ actor.
She added: “One also needs to be respectful to everybody one works with. Show everybody respect. It does not matter how old they are or how long they have been in the industry. Show them respect as long as they deserve it.”
