    Queeneth Agbor speaks on kissing in a movie

    Nollywood actress, Queeneth Agbor, has opened up on a time when she didn’t feel like kissing an actor on a movie set.

    Speaking with TheNewsGuru, the actress who marks her birthday today said: “I have had experiences on set where I didn’t feel like kissing an actor over and over again. You know we actors we fight a lot. But one will have to act with such a person, what would you do? You just have to act. Even for the ladies too we fight. You cannot be friends with everybody, people have different attitudes and beliefs .There are colleagues in the office that you don’t talk but you guys still work in the same office.”

     

    Asked why she isn’t too frequent in movies, the busty role interpreter said: “I don’t want to be in every movie, there is a point in your life when you need to focus on only the stuffs you want to be in. I don’t want to be in every movie, I only want to be in good movies. A director or producer might send you a script you don’t love, the character is weak, the story is weak, and why would I want to be in such a movie?When I started out, I was looking for opportunities, so any script at that point was a good script. I saw every acting opportunity as a way people can get to know me. I am not where I want to be and I know grace is taking me there, but I had to ask myself:’Is this what I really want’? So I had to increase my standard”
