“I’m always looking for a challenge,” Michelle said, according to AP. “I think there is a lot to do in our part of the world. All of us collectively. Do not isolate yourself. Don’t feel like I always have to tell my story. We are collaborators, we are storytellers. Let’s work together and do great things.”

While she has no interest in directing, Michelle said she wants to produce more.

“I love producing. “I’ve produced before and now I can start doing it again,” Michelle explained. “Now I can expand more because people have started to listen and appreciate what you can bring to the table. As an actor, I love what I can do. “I am very lucky to be able to say that it is not a job, it is truly a passion.”

Also during the conference, Michelle admitted that it was a huge relief to win the Oscar.

“It was a rollercoaster that started last year when the movie came out. It was a whole year of not knowing, wanting, hoping, wishing,” Michelle shared. “During the trip, everyone was asking, ‘Do you want the Oscar?’ I said, hell yeah, of course I want the Oscar. Who does not? “I’m not going to beat around the bush and say no because it means a lot to a lot of us.”
