Lupita Nyong'o admits to 'feeling isolated when filming' and claims 'making a social and cultural impact in her career is more important than any pay cheque'
Lupita Nyong'o has admitted to 'feeling isolated when filming' and claimed she wants to make a social and cultural impact with her work during a new interview.
The actress, 36, posed for a series of incredible images for the February issue of British Vogue and spoke about what drives her to each project she works on.
She said: 'I don’t get fulfilment from the number of zeros attached to a project. What I’m seduced by is the potential to shift a narrative. That is very seductive to me, having social and cultural impact.'

On feeling isolated whilst on set filming, she admitted: 'Filming is so time-consuming. And intense. With Black Panther, a lot of us were single.
'On Little Monsters, nobody was single. Everyone, when they’re done with their day’s work, wants to go home to their families, which makes a whole lot of sense. When you don’t have that it’s very isolating.'

Word: Lupita also discussed NOT speaking up about politics, saying: 'I speak up for the things I can personally vouch for'
Her Hollywood debut won her an Oscar. Her first book is a number-one bestseller. For Lupita, a supercharged career means being able to choose the stories that need to be told.
As far as her ambition goes, she said: 'It's passion. I definitely want to claim ambition, but I get very compulsive,' she said, enunciating every syllable...
'...about the things I am passionate about, to the point of not sleeping. It’s very impractical.

She added: 'On Little Monsters (pictured), nobody was single. Everyone, when they’re done with their day’s work, wants to go home to their families, which makes a whole lot of sense. When you don’t have that it’s very isolating'
'Still, I’m impressed – envious – of that confidence to feel like nothing is in your way. I fight the barriers that I form for myself, because they’re often ridiculous.'
Lupita also discussed NOT speaking up about politics, saying: 'I speak up for the things I can personally vouch for.
'There’s a lot going on in this world, a lot of causes that are noble. But I feel most useful when I have a personal connection. And the conviction to say something.'
Lupita is working on a new project which sees her producing and starring in an adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah.
She said: 'I had never seen the African contemporary experience explored, celebrated and analysed in such a way.
'The observations she makes as a non-American black person about America are things that I had never articulated but had felt. I was just madly in love.'
