Any role that allows me to transform, I would obviously do well. I love to challenge myself. I don\u2019t like to take on the same role twice. Every character is kind of different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI picked acting because I\u2019m extremely passionate about it. It was almost as though I couldn\u2019t shake it. Essentially, I realised that it was something that made me the happiest. Although, I thought it was a hobby. I figured that I was really talented and I was really passionate about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor my law degree, I wanted it for backup because at the end of the day, I\u2019m a first-generation immigrant and I understand how hard my parents worked to get me to the United Kingdom. I didn\u2019t want to let them down because that would be too selfish,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Genoveva Umeh, also clearly stated that she doesn\u2019t want to be a role model to anyone, rather she wants to live her normal life, not to be driven by the urge to make decisions based on public expectations.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cI think my only challenge is I still want to be myself, I still want to do great work and I don\u2019t want to get caught up in the fame. Those are the things I want to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, as much as people are really inspired by my work, I don\u2019t think of myself as a role model. I\u2019m not a role model, I\u2019m just someone who cares about her work and if people are inspired by that, that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I don\u2019t want people to attach themselves to everything I do or hold me accountable for certain decisions that I make. I want to live free, I want to be myself and I still want to do great work without the pressure of people\u2019s expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>));\/**\/<\/script><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast-rising Nollywood actress, Genoveva Umeh, has given reasons she doesn\u2019t like playing same role twice.
