Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o opened up about how her life is like.

In an interview with British Vogue, Lupita revealed that sets can be lonely places.

Lupita told British Vogue:

"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."

Lupita also explained why she picks the roles that she does.

"It's passion. I definitely want to claim ambition, but I get very compulsive about the things I am passionate about, to the point of not sleeping. It's very impractical. I fight the barriers that I form for myself, because they're often ridiculous."

Adding,

"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."
