How do you stay motivated? What is the force that<br />

always moves you forward?<br />

For me, there’s no problem staying motivated it’s<br />

staying focused which is the part that requires<br />

particular effort. I have learned that if you try to take<br />

on too much the results of everything will be terribly<br />

mediocre so being strategic and making<br />

decisions based on an ultimate goal is better than just<br />

being a hurricane. When I am overwhelmed I just<br />

pray, not for all my whims to be met and not for all<br />

the answers but just for wisdom and then I eat a bar<br />

of chocolate and all seems well in the world again.<br />

Years of practice to get to this point.<br />

Do you ever think of the possibility of a different<br />

life? What would your life look like if you weren't<br />

in the entertainment industry?<br />

I am actually forever inventing gadgets and coming<br />

up with the next best thing, so I would definitely be<br />

in Venture Capital and have a start-up. I love<br />

building things from scratch. Africans are the most<br />

resilient people I know, give them a tool like the<br />

internet to educate themselves and use to problem<br />

solve and the sky will be the limit!!<br />

There are certainly a lot of girls and young women<br />

who look up to you, but who inspires you, who is<br />

your role model?<br />

I meet them all the time in the most random places.<br />

Yesterday, my new hairdresser told me her life story<br />

of how she overcame abuse as a child and is so<br />

grounded and happy today. This morning my Uber<br />

driver who is also a high school teacher who has three<br />

kids of her own, one of which just started at Harvard,<br />

adopted her students unwanted baby simply because<br />

her student asked her to and thought she would raise<br />

her baby well.<br />

You’re stranded on an island and can only have 3<br />

items with you, what items do you have?<br />

White chocolate, dark chocolate and a knife.<br />

If you could choose any actor to play you in the film<br />

of your life story who would it be?<br />

Charlize Theron. She would nail my accent<br />

and can play absolutely anyone and anything.<br />

What plans have you got for the near future?<br />

I wish I could share the details but all I can say is I<br />

start shooting a series in Europe in April which has<br />

plenty of action and strong female leads. Excited.<br />

If you had a chance to send a message to all the<br />

young women in the world, what is the one piece of<br />

advice you would give them?<br />

F%*K the filters. We all use them on Social Media<br />

and in everyday life but honestly, it’s not necessary<br />

because you are always enough as you are. The world<br />

is dying for authenticity so be the one that gives your<br />

authentic self and patiently await the many reward<br />

and benefits this will bring. I even give myself this<br />

advice daily.<br />

How can people follow you and how can they watch<br />

“Agent’?<br />

My IG is @sarahkozsa. As for Agent, it will be aired<br />

in Europe and Africa via Canal Plus International.<br />

US details are yet to be released but definitely catch<br />

it if you can as it’s truly original, incredibly written<br />

and has a killer soundtrack! Addison is starting high<br />

school and is looking to “fit in” based on what she<br />

was taught as a child, but she soon realizes you cannot<br />

simply accept what others tell you. You need to<br />

“One thing I am incredibly passionate<br />

about is bringing free, uncensored<br />

internet to Africa”<br />
