Read excerpts below;
How has the Nollywood industry cared for Peggy?
Yeah, it’s fun it’s stressful but I don’t think anything in life comes easy, so it’s fun as long as what you are doing is fun to you, you are enjoying it, for me everything is fine.
You are beautiful and good body structure, have you been sexually harassed in the industry?
(Laughs), the truth is this, I will not say I have not been harassed, I think every sector, if you work in the bank, you get harrassed, if you work in an office, you will get harassed. So entertainment industry there is no difference but I think if you set your mind to what exactly you want to do and if you’ve got talent,I don’t think things like that should bother you. Because you walk down the street, you get harassed so its nothing new.
How do you handle it with such situations occur?
I just say no, simple.
Do you still get script after saying no to the advances?
The truth is if you don’t get your script, see these things happen even in Hollywood. If someone rejects you, someone else will accept you. So that is life and as long as you take life that it comes with its ups and downs, you will be perfectly fine, for me, I’m doing well.
How does your Boyfriend cope with your absence?
Let’s just say because he understands the kind of job I do. I think basically it’s just being with someone who understands your career, who knows you are actually working, who supports you. So if you have someone who supports you in everything then everything is fine. Some times when I am not on set I have time, we stay together, we have our time and when I go back to work, its work.
How often do you make him happy as a man?
(laughter), as often as I can.
