rumours and lots more.
Here
are excerpts from the interview ;
How has the year 2018 been for you?
So far, it has been so good. The
year has been ‘litty litty’, if you know what I mean.
Any plan to go into movie
production?
For now, no! Maybe before the year
ends, something might come up in terms of movie production.
Aside Jenifa’s Dairy, you are hardly
seen in regular movies, why?
I do movies too, but not regularly.
Which movie brought you into the
limelight?
College Girls, the pay was nothing
to write home about, but in all I am grateful.
How supportive are your parents
concerning your chosen career?
My mum gave me one million per cent
support from the beginning. But my dad was not in support the first time he
knew about it. But being someone that is as stubborn as her father, the old man
had to accept by force, after much persuasion.
Talking about stubbornness, we’ve
heard people say you are also snobbish, how true is this?
Wow! Snobbish? That’s not true at
all. Being stubborn and snobbish are two different things. People that don’t
know me see me as a snobbish little lady. But, I can’t go about trying to make
people understand me. If you know me, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Aside movies what else do you do?
I run a cleaning company, #Weclean.
It is actually my personal little company.
How long have you been in it and how
did you start the business?
I started the cleaning business last
year. It is not easy, you know. I’m that girl that loves success, so I tried to
venture into one or two businesses apart from acting.
It was once rumoured that you are a
lesbian; can you defend that?
Like you said, it’s all a rumour.
That’s not true at all.
What’s your take on same sex
marriage?
I don’t think it’s right!
How about s*x toys, it’s almost
taking over the world?
I don’t support that either.
Can you share your first encounter
with Nollywood?
My first encounter with Nollywood
was in 2010 when I did ‘waka pass’ in a movie directed by Kalu Anya, and
starring the likes of Chika Ike among others. The movie was shot in Asaba. But
then I was not ready to make acting a career because I was still in school.
What’s your opinion on premarital
s*x?
I’m not a saint oh. But our bodies
are supposed to be temples of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul says that the sin of
the body is serious compared to the sin committed outside the body.
What makes a good actor?
A good actor should be so convincing
in a role to the extent of holding the audience captive, and also make them
feel as if there is nothing but the story at hand.
Are you currently in a serious
relationship?
Yes! I’m in a very serious
relationship with God.
What kind of man do you want for
marriage?
I want a man who will support and
encourage me to pursue my desires and dreams. I want a man that will make me
feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and feelings openly to him without
fearing his judgment or ridicule.
What could make Paschaline shed
midnight tears?
When I miss home or things aren’t
going the way I want it to; it makes me cry.
Have you been heartbroken? And how
did you deal with it?
Yes, I am human, but after two weeks
I was back to normal.
Did that make you cry or starve
yourself of food?
I was hurt to be honest, but I
didn’t starve myself of food.
What turns you off in relationships?
Fake lifestyle, pretense and lies.
