Because Quote by Sophie Okonedo

“I get offered loads of unusual stuff. I just don't do loads because I like staying at home a lot, and I'm a little bit lazy. I don't get that thing of going from film to film that people do. It would drive me nuts, and that level of fame is quite scary.” quote by Sophie Okonedo — Download Open image
